Mufti of Oman denounces normalization with "Vanishing Zionist Entity"

Muscat - Saba Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al-Khalili, the Mufti of Oman, expressed profound astonishment at the desire of some nations to normalize relations with the "Zionist enemy"—an entity he described as doomed to vanish. In a post monitored by Saba News Agency, Al-Khalili questioned: "How can anyone seek relations with a disappearing entity whose own people no longer believe in remaining on occupied land, an entity that persists only through perpetual war?" He warned of the grave miscalculation: "Do those pursuing normalization not fear their bargain will prove disastrous? What a catastrophe!" The religious leader intensified his critique: "Even if dealing with a temporary occupying power, some might claim pragmatic justification—but how justify ties with a savage colonizer that sustains itself on the blood of innocent children, women and elders? How accept rewarding those who slaughter our kin and faith? How abandon fundamental rights?" Al-Khalili concluded with a moral indictment: "The true tragedy emerges when oppression gets recast as peace". This statement marks a significant clerical challenge to Gulf normalization efforts, framing them as both strategic errors and moral failures while highlighting Zionism's existential contradictions through its own demographic anxieties Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
