Breaking: Muslim World League assures support for Palestine, slams Israeli PM over calls for expulsion of people of Gaza

The Muslim World League (MWL) has strongly denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following his recent remarks where he advocated for the displacement of the entire population of Gaza.

In an official statement issued in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, denounced Netanyahu’s statements as a blatant violation of international laws and an infringement on state sovereignty.

Al-Issa further emphasized the Palestinian people’s right to an independent state on their homeland as he reaffirmed MWL’s full support for Saudi Arabia’s unwavering stance on Palestine, referencing the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ statements on February 5 and 9.

“On behalf of the scholars and peoples of the Islamic world under the umbrella of the Muslim World League, His Eminence expressed strong support for the recent statements made by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, particularly those issued on February 5 and 9.

“These statements reaffirm Saudi Arabia’s firm and unwavering position on the establishment of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, its call for an end to the Israeli occupation, and its encouragement of peace-loving nations to recognize the State of Palestine until it achieves full United Nations membership.

“His Eminence also acknowledged the significant efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in supporting the Palestinian cause and its firm stance against the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This includes the historic summits hosted by Saudi Arabia and its continued efforts to mobilize global support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state on their occupied land,” the statement added.
