In a statement quoted by Wafa, Wednesday, the UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation stressed the need to immediately stop such acts, provide full protection for worshipers, respect the right of Palestinians to carry out their religious rituals, and stop any practices that violate the sanctity of the people and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
