Cairo,
Al-Azhar condemned reports echoed by some media outlets claiming that the
Israeli occupation authorities have ratified establishing new settlement
projects, in the old city of Hebron and confiscating adjacent land lots to the
Ibrahimc sanctuary, in a step to facilitate jeopardizing it and going on its
Judaization plan of the this Islamic sanctuary.
In a statement announced here today, Al-Azhar
reiterated total rejection of flagrant violations and escalating policies
pursued by the Israeli occupation against religious and historical Palestinian
landmarks, in general and the Islamic and Christian sanctuaries, in particular,
in a sheer breach of the International Law and other adopted international
charters, against the backdrop of the world preoccupation with confronting
novel Covild-19 pandemic.
Al-Azhar urged the world community to shoulder
its responsibility towards the Palestinian cause and took decisive resolutions
to stop the absurd Israeli occupation acts and repeated disparaging of the
Palestinian people rights on its territories and against its sanctuaries,
including confiscating its right to establish independent state, with Al-Quds
(Eastern Jerusalem) as its capital.
