President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has condemned the storming and desecration of the sanctity of Masjiid Al-Aqsa by Israeli ultranationalists.
In a tweet, President Solih expressed his condemnation of the actions of Israeli ultranationalists who desecrated the sanctity of Masjid Al-Aqsa during the Flag March in Jerusalem on May 29. He stated Maldivians remain steadfast in their solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
The Flag March is an annual parade where Israelis celebrate their capture of Jerusalem in 1967. As part of this parade, thousands of ultranationalist Israelis stormed Masjid Al-Aqsa waving Israeli flags, dancing, and singing anti-Palestinian chants. It is a violation of international agreements over the status quo in Al-Aqsa, which is the third holiest site of Muslims.
