In a statement, It also urges maximum global pressure to enforce the Gaza ceasefire agreement and demands that world leaders exercise wisdom in public statements affecting the world.
Al-Azhar’s call is a response to statements by several members of the Israeli government regarding the commencement of a plan to forcibly displace the Palestinian people from their land.
Al-Azhar affirmed that Gaza is Arab Palestinian land and will remain so—God willing—until the Day of Judgment. The occupying forces and their supporters seek to steal the land through violence, destruction, and the shedding of innocent blood. They continue to falsify history and erase facts amid unprecedented global collusion and a Zionist agenda to seize the rights of others, supported by countries that have long claimed to champion freedom, democracy, and human rights.
Al-Azhar celebrated the resilience of the Palestinian people, their loyalty to their homeland, their steadfastness in resisting occupation, and the heroism of their children, women, elderly, and youth in the face of the horrific terrorism they have endured, according to a statement released by Al-Azhar Sheikhdom on Thursday.
Al Azhar said that many now follow such news without grasping the magnitude of the crimes committed, moving on to other stories as if nothing has happened; as if the killing of innocent Palestinians is not a crime, as if they are a people without rights, excluded from global human rights declarations, and unprotected by international laws and charters designed to safeguard humanity.
