Arab Nations Hit out at Israel over Jerusalem Violence
Voice of America
KHARTOUM, SUDAN - Arab countries, including four that last year agreed to normalize relations with Israel, have condemned a weekend of violence after hundreds of Palestinians were wounded in clashes with Israeli security forces.
The violence around east Jerusalem's revered Al-Aqsa mosque compound and the Old City is the worst since 2017, fueled by a years-long bid by Jewish settlers to take over Palestinian homes. Criticism of Israeli conduct has poured in from Sudan, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain -- all nations that last year agreed to normalize, or normalized, relations with the Jewish state. Khartoum labelled Israeli measures in Jerusalem against Palestinians as "repression", and "coercive action" in a foreign ministry statement late Saturday.More Related News
