The organization emphasized that mere verbal condemnation is insufficient amid escalating threats, including calls for the destruction of the mosque and the ongoing situation in Gaza. FOA urged these nations to take concrete actions, such as suspending trade with Israel and imposing sanctions, to effectively protect Masjid Al-Aqsa.
