The Muslim Council of Elders, led by His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, unequivocally condemns the massacre perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against unarmed Palestinian civilians awaiting aid trucks at Al-Nabulsi Roundabout near Al-Rasheed Street in northern Gaza Strip. This heinous act resulted in the martyrdom and injury of dozens of innocent civilians.
The Council urgently appeals to the global conscience to fulfill its responsibilities in protecting the defenceless Palestinian people and to take immediate action to halt the aggression on the Gaza Strip. It calls for the swift and safe delivery of humanitarian aid and an end to this ongoing humanitarian crisis.
The Muslim Council of Elders renews its call to the international community to seek a just and comprehensive resolution to the prolonged Palestinian issue, which has persisted for over 70 years. The Council emphasizes the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
