Abu Dhabi: The Muslim Council of Elders, under the leadership of His Eminence Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation forces’ shelling of the Al-Tabin school, which was providing shelter to displaced persons in the Al-Daraj neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, during their dawn prayers.
This attack resulted in the martyrdom of more than 100 Palestinians and left dozens severely injured.
The Muslim Council of Elders firmly rejects the targeting of innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip and calls on the international community to take urgent action to end this humanitarian catastrophe.
The Council urges all necessary measures to be taken to stop the violence in Gaza, deliver humanitarian aid and relief, provide protection to Palestinian civilians, initiate an international investigation into this horrific massacre, hold the perpetrators accountable under international law, and support the Palestinian people’s right to estab
lish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
