The Muslim Council of Elders, under the chairmanship of His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al‑Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al‑Azhar, extends its sincere condolences to the State of Kuwait on the martyrdom of Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Imad Al‑Sharrah and Major Fahd Abdulaziz Al‑Majamad, members of the General Directorate of Land Border Security, who were martyred while carrying out their national duty to protect and safeguard the borders of their homeland.

The Council expresses its solidarity with the State of Kuwait—its leadership, government, and people—during this painful loss. It prays that Almighty Allah envelops the two martyrs in His boundless mercy, grants them a place in His spacious heavens, and bestows patience and comfort upon their families and loved ones. The Council also prays that Allah protects the State of Kuwait and perpetuates upon it the blessings of security, safety, and stability.

The Muslim Council of Elders, under the chairmanship of His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al‑Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al‑Azhar, strongly condemns the illegal measures undertaken by the Israeli occupation aimed at imposing unlawful sovereignty, expanding settlement activity, and creating a new de facto legal and administrative reality in the occupied West Bank.

The Council affirms its unequivocal rejection of such violations, which seek to accelerate attempts at the unlawful annexation of the West Bank and threaten the forced displacement of the Palestinian people. Such measures constitute a blatant violation of international law and United Nations resolutions. The Council stresses that all unilateral actions intended to alter the legal, historical, or demographic status of Palestinian land—including East Jerusalem—are null, void, and simply illegal.

The Muslim Council of Elders warns that the continuation of expansionist policies and illegal practices in the occupied West Bank represents a dangerous escalation that fuels violence, undermines prospects for peace and stability in the region, and deepens the suffering of the Palestinian people. The Council renews its call to the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibility by seriously working towards a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue, by ending over seven decades of ongoing suffering, and ensuring the Palestinian people’s legitimate right to establish an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
