The League of Parliamentarians for Al-Quds (LP4Q) condemns the arrest of the MP in the Palestinian Legislative Council, Ahmed Mubarak, after storming his house in the town of Beitunia in Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, and the decisions to deport female Jerusalemites from the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and escalate the restrictions on worshipers.

LP4Q calls on its members, international parliaments and relevant institutions to put pressure on the Israeli occupation to compel it to abide by its legal obligations, and to stop violating the rights of the Palestinian people's representatives, and it also calls on parliaments and Palestine committees in parliaments to urgently move to stop and condemn the restrictions on Al-Aqsa and take a clear and strong stance towards them.

LP4Q calls on the institutions of the international community to condemn these measures and to urgently intervene in order to ensure the immediate release of the detained deputies from the occupation’s prisons.

LP4Q affirms that the arrest of parliamentarians, deportation campaigns, and harassment operations in Jerusalem are a flagrant violation of international law and human rights principles, and are not based on any legal justification, and they are political decisions par excellence to limit the role of parliamentarians in facing occupation crimes, deterring them from participating in political life, and emptying Al-Aqsa from Worshipers to implement temporal and spatial division plans for the mosque in favor of settler incursions.
