Egypt’s Al-Azhar al-Sharif harshly condemned Israel’s brutal decision to occupy the Gaza Strip and completely seize its lands.
In a statement issued Saturday evening, it affirmed that this unjust decision serves as conclusive evidence that Israel seeks to erase Palestine from existence and swallow up what remains of its land by force of arms and terrorism.
Azhar stressed that this is an indelible stain on the brow of international institutions unable to confront Israel’s criminal actions.
It called for an end Israel’s occupation policies, which are based on arrogance, contempt and violence, flouts all UN charters, laws, and resolutions, and insists on committing further massacres and violations against the Palestinian people, the owners of their land.
Azhar called for the need to combine all Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, and to intensify all forms of political, diplomatic, and legal pressure to halt this “major historical tragedy and absurdity”, unprecedented in human history, and to stand firmly against the occupier’s attempts to drag the entire region into a chaotic collapse.
