The Palestine Committee in the Jordanian parliament has condemned Israeli measures to seize Palestinian properties and Islamic endowments in the Bab al-Silsila area adjacent to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
In a statement, committee chairman MP Suleiman Abdul Aziz Al-Saud said the committee completely rejected all Israeli measures, describing them as a clear violation of international law and the historical and legal status quo in occupied Jerusalem.
He said the “illegal practices” represented a blatant breach of international law, a direct attack on the identity of the city and its holy sites, and a dangerous attempt to impose a new reality by force.
Al-Saud warned of the seriousness of the escalating measures and their potential to inflame tensions further, saying they posed a direct threat to stability and undermined the chances of achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the region.

Meanwhile, Jordan’s Foreign Ministry also condemned the Israeli plans to confiscate Islamic properties and endowments in the Bab al-Silsila area adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
In a statement, the ministry reaffirmed Jordan’s commitment to the Hashemite custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
It also stressed the role of the Jerusalem Waqf and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department, which is affiliated with Jordan’s Ministry of Awqaf, in overseeing the affairs of the mosque.
