The Arab League today expressed strong condemnation and categorical rejection of the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by thousands of settlers under the protection of the Israeli occupation police and with the participation of Israeli government ministers.The League warned of the serious consequences of the continuation of these systematic violations and incursions carried out by extremists with the approval, encouragement, and participation of the occupation authorities and their extremist ministers.In a statement, Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy noted the sharp escalation in the frequency of these incursions in recent months, reflecting an ongoing plan to divide Al-Aqsa Mosque both temporally and spatially. He stressed the extreme danger of this plan, which is being pursued by a group of Israeli extremists who control the occupation government and dictate its policies.He affirmed that the Israeli entity has no sovereignty over occupied Jerusalem or its Islamic and Christian holy sites, and that its attempts to alter the existing legal and historical status quo in the Old City constitute a violation of international law.The occupation government's continued provocation of Arab and Muslim sentiments in this manner threatens to ignite tensions and fuel anger over the disregard for holy sites, he warned.Fahmy also noted that the Jerusalem Waqf and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department, of the Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, is the sole authority responsible for managing the affairs of Al-Aqsa Mosque and regulating entry to it.

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso faces mounting pressure ahead of today's Champions League group-stage meeting against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, but the Spaniard was confident the team could turn their poor form around.Sunday's 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo, in which Real were reduced to nine players after defenders Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras were sent off, left the club second in LaLiga with 36 points, four behind leaders Barcelona.Adding to Alonso's challenges, Madrid could be without as many as eight key players, including top-scorer Kylian Mbappe, who missed training on Tuesday with a muscle injury.’Football can change quickly… for good or for bad,’ Alonso told a press conference Tuesday. ‘After the Celta match, we've already drawn our conclusions.’Now it's just City in our minds. It's the Champions League, we're at the Bernabeu. It will be different because of the energy that's created. That's what's on our minds, what's ahead of us.’Asked whether his job could be at risk if Real falter against City, Alonso remained defiant.’When you coach Real Madrid, you have to be prepared for situations like this. We are a team, we are all united,’ he said.’To reverse the disappointment, which is normal, all we're thinking about now is City.’Mbappe's absence would be a significant blow for Alonso's team, with the Frenchman leading both the LaLiga and Champions League scoring charts this season.The 26-year-old joins an already packed injury list that includes Dani Carvajal, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga.Wednesday's clash will be the 13th meeting between the clubs in the past decade, a rivalry that has intensified as Real and City combined to claim three of the last four Champions League titles.Real won the competition in 2022 and 2024, beating City en route to both titles, while the English side lifted their maiden Champions League trophy in 2023 after overcoming the Spanish club in the semi-finals that year.Despite a disappointing run in recent weeks, with two victories in their last seven matches across all competitions, Alonso remained optimistic.’We're all in this together. United. Convinced that this is an opportunity. We need to have the energy to connect with the Bernabeu. If that happens, we have a chance to win,’ he said.’In football, you have to adapt and learn. Some days are good, others are not,’ he added. ‘But we are making progress with every match. Good thing we have a challenge tomorrow. The best way to move forward is to face it. It's a challenge that we must rise to.’Real are fifth in the Champions League standings on 12 points, three behind leaders Arsenal. City are ninth on 10 points, chasing a top-eight finish that would secure direct qualification to the last 16. Source link
