Türkiye on Wednesday approved Israel's decision to halt entries, other than by Muslims, into the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem until the end of Muslims' holy month of Ramadan to relieve tension, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.
In a phone call, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and his Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen discussed the latest developments regarding the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Turkish diplomatic sources said.
The phone call came a day after a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on the prohibition of Jewish visitors and tourists "from going up to the Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa Mosque complex) until the end of Ramadan."
Cavusoglu emphasized that provocations should not be repeated in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The minister also said Türkiye will make every possible contribution to reducing the tension, according to the sources.
