Al-Azhar Al-Sharif expresses its appreciation for the Egyptian-Qatari mediation efforts and reaching a humanitarian truce to stop the aggression against our fellows in the G..az..a St..rip, and to ensure the delivery of humanitarian and relief aid to our there.
Al-Azhar thus prays to Allah Almighty that this step shall lead to a complete cessation of the brutal aggr..ession against the rightful owners of the land.
Al-Azhar also salutes the stance of all the free people of the world, including Muslims, Christians, Jews, etc., who came out in rejection of the aggression against innocent civilians in Gaza, in support of the P.a.l.es.tinian right, and in denouncement of the practices of the usurping o.c.c.upation and its brutality against the innocent children, women, the elderly, and the innocent. Those people, Al-Azhar asserts, denounce the targeting of hospitals, churches, and homes, and the shelters of the displaced.
Finally, Al-Azhar encourages all the free people to courageously express position and to exert all possible efforts in pressing on global decision-makers to end this period, which has been a disgrace to all of humanity.
