The Muslim Council of Elders, chaired by His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, strongly condemned remarks by the Israeli prime minister promoting what he called a “Greater Israel vision.”
The council denounced the statement as a manifestation of colonial ambitions that it said pose a serious threat to regional and global peace and stability.
In a statement, the Abu Dhabi–based body urged the international community to “urgently fulfill its responsibilities” to halt violations against the Palestinian people, end their decades-long suffering, and uphold their right to establish an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The council said the Palestinian issue has been marked by “over 70 years of injustice” and warned that continued inaction would fuel further instability across the Middle East.
