Al-Azhar has called for an immediate end to the war in the region and the continued bloodshed of innocent civilians.
In a statement on Tuesday morning, Al-Azhar, the world’s leading Sunni Islamic institution, expressed its rejection and condemnation of the violation of the sovereignty of Arab states, the aggression against their lands and resources, and the terrorizing of their peaceful populations.
Al-Azhar demanded an immediate cessation of these violations, emphasizing that such aggression is rejected by morality, religion, and law, regardless of any justifications, pretexts, or excuses.
It reiterated its call to the international community to intervene to establish peace in the Middle East, prevent the expansion of conflicts, and take decisive and urgent action to extinguish the flames of war, for which innocent civilian lives are being paid.
Al-Azhar urged all parties to exercise restraint and reason, to prioritize wisdom, religion, and humanity in this difficult crisis, and to return to the negotiating table without delay.
