The United Arab Emirates condemns the Israeli lawmakers who visited the Temple Mount earlier today to mark Jerusalem Day.

In a statement, the UAE foreign ministry says it “strong condemned” the “extremists” and calls for a halt to “serious and provocative violations” of the holy site.

It also calls on Israeli authorities “to halt escalation and avoid taking steps to exacerbate tension and instability in the region.”
