Mufti of Oman: Grand Mufti of Oman calls on Arab & Islamic countries to mobilise in support of Gaza
The Grand Mufti of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al Khalili, on Sunday appealed to Islamic countries in general and Arab countries in particular, to come to the aid of their brothers in the Gaza Strip, who are being subjected to a crime of extermination committed by the Zionist enemy army.
Sheikh Al-Khalili said in a "blog post" on the "X" platform: "We follow with regret and pain the tragedy of dear Gaza from the suffocating siege unjustly imposed on it, and how it led to people falling in groups and alone from the effect of hunger."
He added: "It is surprising that this tragedy is recorded by the media moment by moment, but those who are related by blood and religion are not shaken by it, nor are those who claim to have conventions and laws, as if they are waiting for the sequel after they did not care about anything else; by God, how will they answer if they are asked before the hands of God Almighty, what sin did you kill for?"
He continued: "Thus, we appeal to the Islamic countries in general and the Arab countries in particular to come to the aid of their brothers sooner rather than later; this is the right of all humanity, and neither a sincere Muslim nor a genuine Arab would accept this injustice in any human being, Muslim or non-Muslim, although the right of Muslims among their brothers in Islam is greater.The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he shall not oppress him, nor shall he despise him, nor shall he hand him over."
The Grand Mufti of Oman continued: "We make this appeal to our brothers in the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: Leaders and peoples to push in the direction of expediting the opening of crossings and relief for the afflicted people of their neighbours and brothers in Gaza and Palestine, and we do not forget here to remind our distinguished scholars in the two countries to hasten to carry out their rights in this regard, especially Al-Azhar, represented by its Grand Imam and its distinguished scholars," Sheikh Al-Khalili said.
Sheikh Al-Khalili concluded his blog by saying: "In sum, we hope that all those with a living human conscience in the whole world will hasten to do so; everyone is responsible before God Almighty and no one is exempt from this responsibility. May Allah bear witness, and may Allah help us and support us."

Palestinian Ahrar Movement: Gaza Genocide Exposes Arab and Islamic Regimes' Weakness
Gaza – SABA: The Palestinian Ahrar Movement stated on Tuesday that the ongoing genocide and starvation inflicted by the Zionist enemy in the Gaza Strip expose the profound weakness, submission, and normalization of Arab and Islamic regimes. The movement said the massacre is effectively sanctioned by the international community's disgraceful silence and its alignment with Zionist interests. In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the movement described the starvation and mass killing in Gaza as crimes against humanity, compounded by the aggressor's complete impunity. The statement added: 'If the international community fails to act to stop the aggression, end the war crimes and starvation against Gaza's people, and prosecute the Zionist enemy and its fascist leaders in international courts, then it must discard its own legal and judicial frameworks and all its human rights rhetoric into the trash heap of history.'

Hamas: International community's disregard for Zionist enemy's crimes in Gaza is dangerous precedent
Gaza - Saba: The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Tuesday considered the disregard of the international community and its institutions, primarily the UN Security Council, for the Zionist enemy's crimes in Gaza a dangerous precedent, enshrining the logic of arrogance and violating international and humanitarian law. The movement said in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba): The disregard of the international community and its institutions, primarily the UN Security Council, for the humanitarian tragedy and horrific crimes committed daily by the enemy's army, in sound and image, is a dangerous precedent, enshrining the logic of arrogance and violating international and humanitarian law. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023. This has resulted in the martyrdom of 59,029 Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 142,135 others, as of Monday, in a preliminary toll. Thousands of victims remain under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Democratic Front for Liberation of Palestine welcomes statement of 25
Gaza - Saba: The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine welcomed the statement issued in London by 25 foreign ministers, calling for an end to the war in the Gaza Strip, saving the population from death by fire and starvation, and rejecting their displacement from the Strip or their detention in a large prison called the "Humanitarian City." In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) on Monday, the Democratic Front praised "every action aimed at halting the effects of the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip and pressuring the enemy state to stop its war, withdraw its army from the Strip, and leave our people the sacred choice of self-determination on their land, far from any colonial projects, whatever their source." In the same context, the Democratic Front called on "the Arab countries whose representatives will meet at the Arab League to take effective and influential decisions to halt the heinous crimes committed daily by the fascist junta in the occupying entity. This junta is wanted by international justice at the International Criminal Court in The Hague for committing genocide, and by the International Criminal Court for its military-political leaders committing war crimes against our people." The Democratic Front emphasized the need for Arab countries to take positions that rise to the occasion, including withdrawing Arab ambassadors from the occupied entity, expelling enemy ambassadors, and imposing a complete economic boycott, including preventing the transfer of materials to the enemy through neighboring Arab countries. It also called for the activation of financial and economic power, as well as Arab diplomacy, to isolate the occupying entity internationally, halt its supply of weapons, and consider it a rogue state rebelling against international legitimacy. It also called for referring the issue of a ceasefire and breaking the siege in the Gaza Strip to the Security Council, and for adopting a cohesive position that prevents the Washington representative from resorting to using the veto. The Front called for the provision of the necessary aid to support the situation in the Gaza Strip, including what the situation requires in terms of food, environment and health, while at the same time providing decent shelter for those whose homes were destroyed, so that they can return to live in their ruins, and providing the necessary mechanisms to remove the rubble, and recover more than ten thousand bodies from under the rubble, and transferring the injured, wounded and sick in critical condition for treatment abroad.
