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.”
