Egypt: Egypt's mufti Nazir Mohamed Ayad strongly condemned and denounced Israel's efforts to pass legislation allowing the execution of Palestinian prisoners and detainees, describing the move as a flagrant violation of all humanitarian principles and international laws. According to State Information Service Egypt, in a statement issued on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, the grand Mufti stressed that attempts to legalize killing by granting it a legal cover do not confer legitimacy, but rather expose a persistent approach based on legitimizing aggression and justifying grave violations. He underscored that such actions reflect a continued policy of repression and abuse, representing a blatant challenge to all moral values and norms, as well as clear disregard for human dignity and fundamental rights. Ayad reaffirmed his categorical rejection of all measures and decisions issued by Israel targeting the rights of the Palestinian people, particularly prisoners, who are guaranteed full protection under religious tea chings and international conventions. The mufti called on the international community, along with all relevant human rights organizations, to assume their legal and humanitarian responsibilities and take urgent action to halt these unjust policies, hold those responsible accountable, and protect innocent people from such a harsh fate.
