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.

Oil prices zig-zagged between negative and positive territory yesterday as traders weighed supply disruptions against the potential restart of peace talks between the US and Iran that could help limit those disruptions. Prices rose 2% earlier in the day on fears of renewed military escalation in the region after Iran released footage on Thursday of commandos boarding a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, and as progress stalled on re-opening the key waterway.Crude futures then pulled back after Reuters reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was expected to arrive in Islamabad late on Friday to discuss proposals for resuming peace talks with the US after talks collapsed earlier this week.Prices fell further after CNN reported that US President Donald Trump was sending special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan for talks with Iran’s foreign minister. “The (Strait of Hormuz) disruption has created a complex logistical challenge that will take time to resolve …. Clearing this backlog will take weeks, as vessels are sequenced through ports that are themselves operating under constrained conditions,” said Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen in a note.Brent crude futures were down 58 cents, or 0.6%, at $104.49, and US West Texas Intermediate futures were down $2.31, or around 2.1%, to $93.54. “Traders are liquidating length ahead of an unusually unpredictable weekend and will readjust their positions Sunday night based on Iranian developments,” said Tamas Varga of oil broker PVM.For the week, Brent is up about 16% and WTI 11%, the second-largest weekly gains since the war began. Navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, which before the war carried about a fifth of global oil output, remains effectively blocked. Iran’s capture of two cargo ships highlighted Washington’s difficulties in trying to control the passage.Only five ships, including an Iranian oil products tanker, have moved through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, shipping data showed. – Reuters Source link
