Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, said he was concerned about continued violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque, also known as Al-Haram Al-Sharif, and about attempts to alter the historical and legal status quo in Occupied East Jerusalem.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Dar reiterated Pakistan's support for the Hashemite Custodianship, under which Jordan's monarchy oversees Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
The status of Jerusalem's holy sites has long been a sensitive issue in the region, with the custodianship arrangement dating back decades and remaining a point of reference in diplomatic statements from Muslim-majority countries.
Pakistan has repeatedly voiced support for the historical arrangements governing access to and management of religious sites in Jerusalem, a city whose status remains disputed internationally.
Further details of the statement, including any specific incidents referenced, were not immediately available.
