The International Union of Muslim Scholars has issued a strong appeal for immediate action in support of the people of Gaza, condemning what they describe as heinous crimes and genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation. They called upon the international community to fulfill its moral and humanitarian responsibilities to address the ongoing violence and suffering in the region. The organization urged massive demonstrations across the globe to raise awareness and pressure for change, emphasizing that every moment without action exacerbates the plight of the Palestinian people.
In a related development, 16 non-governmental Islamic organizations have joined forces to call on Arab and Islamic leaders to declare a state of emergency and take decisive action against the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This joint statement, known as the 'Statement of the Scholars of the Flood,' reflects a growing consensus among various Islamic groups regarding the need for solidarity and support for the Palestinian cause. They urged leaders to mobilize military resources and sever ties with Israel, labeling normalization treaties as contrary to the interests of the Muslim community.
- The call for action comes amid escalating violence in Gaza, where reports indicate severe humanitarian crises, including shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. The International Union of Muslim Scholars highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating that the conditions in Gaza resemble a deliberate act of genocide rather than mere military conflict.
- The joint statement from the 16 organizations also referenced a recent call by Abu Obeida, a spokesperson for Hamas's military wing, urging Muslim scholars to increase their efforts in supporting Gaza. This indicates a broader mobilization effort within the Islamic community to address the crisis and advocate for Palestinian rights.
