"We are deeply concerned about the escalation of tensions in the region in recent days," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry also condemned the killing of seven Palestinians by Israeli forces in recent days.
Germany, France, Italy, and Spain also expressed their concern over Al-Aqsa developments on Friday, without condemning the aggression of Israeli forces against Palestinian worshipers.

"At this special time of religious celebrations, we call on all sides to exercise maximum restraint as well as to refrain from violence and from all forms of provocation," said the statement released by four European countries.
They also called for upholding and respecting the historic status quo on the Holy Sites in Al-Quds, stressing the importance of Jordan’s specific role in this regard.
