It also denounced the construction of the colonial units in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Ministry also condemned, in a statement, the Israeli deliberate targeting of Jerusalem and its citizens in general, and Christian and Islamic holy sites, most notably Al-Aqsa Mosque in particular, and the restrictions forced on worshipers' access to Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
