  • Al-Azhar warned the entire world of a Zionist plan being ‎implemented on the occupied Palestinian territories in the ‎West Bank

CAIRO: Egypt’s Al-Azhar Al-Sharif — Sunni Islam’s oldest and foremost seat of learning — has strongly condemned the Zionist terrorist aggression on the cities of the West Bank, the destruction of ‎many roads, facilities and homes, the killing and ‎injury of dozens, and the arrest of hundreds.‎

Al-Azhar warned the entire world of a Zionist plan being ‎implemented on the occupied Palestinian territories in the ‎West Bank to “seize its ownership, Judaize its landmarks, kill ‎its Palestinian owners and citizens, and commit a new ‎genocide. This crime is taking place in the light of the ‎brutality of this Zionist entity, unprecedented international ‎complicity and impotence, and global preoccupation with ‎the daily massacres taking place in the glorious land of Gaza. ‎There, the enemy is reassured that no one would move a ‎finger to confront what is going on there.‎”

Al-Azhar also warned of the danger of this violation of the ‎security and stability of the region, and called on the human ‎community and all active parties to assume their ‎responsibilities toward the massacres committed by ‎the “Zionist killing machine.”

“These massacres against the ‎people of the Gaza Strip are tragic and painful, not to ‎mention the crimes they are about to commit in the West ‎Bank. Al-Azhar also underscores the need to exert all ‎efforts to stop the unscrupulous Zionist plans aimed at taking ‎lives, stealing land, and falsifying history. It is as if today’s ‎world is governed by the law of the jungle.”

Al-Azhar further called on the Muslim world to “harness all ‎political, diplomatic and popular resources and reinforce the ‎boycott of Zionist products, toward protecting Palestinian ‎lives, the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the noble city of ‎Jerusalem, to repel the aggression against our brethren in ‎Palestine, and let everyone know that this enemy was planted ‎in our lands not to live with us in peace — as they allege — but ‎to devour the Arab body piecemeal if possible, knowing that ‎history and reality are the best witnesses to this fact.”
