International law is invoked by many, including the UN and the OIC, to state that East Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian territory and that Israel's actions are illegal, with certain observers calling for the International Court of Justice to rule on the lawfulness of the occupation itself. Many organizations and individuals view the Al-Aqsa Mosque as a holy site exclusively for Muslims, with actions like altering the historical and legal status quo, limiting access for Muslim worshipers, and restricting their access to the site being considered violations of international law and international humanitarian law.
Israeli actions, such as restricting Palestinian access to Al-Aqsa, limiting religious rights, and allowing settlers to enter the compound, have been condemned as clear and serious violations of international law. These actions are seen as attempts to create a spatial and temporal division of the holy site, which is illegal under international law. The UN Security Council has called for an end to all actions that undermine the status quo and has affirmed the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention to all occupied territories.
