The Muslim Council of Elders, under the chairmanship of His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, strongly condemns the Israeli government’s ministerial council decision to occupy the Gaza Strip. The Council asserts that such actions constitute a flagrant violation of the Palestinian people’s rights and undermine efforts to achieve peace and a just, comprehensive resolution to the Palestinian issue.
The Council emphasizes that the Israeli occupation’s ongoing provocations and grave violations against the Palestinian people—including continued killings, starvation policies, and attempts at forced displacement—which threaten dire consequences for peace and security in the region and beyond.
The Muslim Council of Elders renews its urgent appeal to the global conscience to act swiftly to stop the aggression on the Gaza Strip and protect innocent civilians. It calls on the international community to uphold its legal, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities to end the Palestinian people’s suffering, which has endured for over seven decades, and to affirm their legitimate right to establish an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
