Al-Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed el Tayyeb called on the world peoples and leaders to support the peaceful and oppressed Palestinian people in their legitimate and just cause towards recovering their right, their land and their sanctuaries.

In a post on his official pages on social media, he added “stop the killing and support the due owners of the right. Abandon silence and double standard policies, if we are truly working for peace.”

“I pray to Allah to have mercy on the martyrs of Palestine and to shower them with mercy and forgiveness,” he added.
