Al-Azhar Al-Sharif called on the Arabs and Muslims to take a unified position in the face of the inhumane Western circumvention that supports the Israeli occupation’s violation of all Palestinian civilian rights.

Al-Azhar called in a press statement on Wednesday for an international investigation into the war crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against children, women and the elderly in the besieged and isolated Gaza Strip.

He urged the Arab and Islamic countries to realize their religious and historical duty and responsibilities, and to rush to provide humanitarian and relief aid quickly, and to ensure its passage to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Azhar stated that supporting innocent Palestinian civilians through official channels is a religious and legal duty, and a moral and humanitarian obligation, and that history will not be kind to those who neglect this duty.

It stressed that the unlimited and inhuman Western support for the Israeli occupation and its blessing of its crimes, and the fanatical and biased Western media coverage we see against Palestine and its people, are lies that expose the claims of freedoms that the West claims to carry and protect, and confirm the falsification of facts, double standards, misleading global public opinion, and involvement in supporting arrogance. Force on innocent Palestinian civilians, and opens a wide scope for committing the most heinous crimes of occupation terrorism in Palestine.
