Palestine government has condemned an Israeli court's decision that granted Jewish worshippers limited rights to pray at al-Aqsa Mosque in the old city of East Jerusalem. The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the move "a flagrant aggression against al-Aqsa Mosque",  a statement reads.

The statement said that the Israeli court's decision "is a step towards dividing the holy compound of the mosque", adding that "it will lead to dangerous consequences on al-Aqsa Mosque and its historical and legal status quo".  The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is a site holy to both Muslims and Jews, the latter of whom call it the Temple Mount. It also said that it will exert all efforts and employ all political and diplomatic action to confront this decision.

The statement added that the foreign ministry will coordinate efforts with Jordan, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on both the regional and international levels. Meanwhile, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit also slammed the court's decision, expressing it was "dangerous" and mirrored the intentions of the new Israeli government and its continuous plans for targeting the Palestinian presence.
