Makkah, January 09, 2025 – The Muslim World League (MWL) has strongly condemned the Israeli occupation's recent allegations and false claims regarding a map published by official Israeli accounts. The map in question inaccurately depicts parts of several Arab countries, including Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, as falling within Israel’s alleged borders. This provocation has been met with widespread criticism across the Arab world, with the MWL expressing grave concern over the implications of such assertions.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the MWL denounced these claims as part of a broader pattern of violations committed by Israeli occupation forces. The League specifically condemned Israel's continuous disregard for international law and its blatant violations of resolutions upheld by the international community. By attempting to alter the established borders of neighboring sovereign states, Israel's actions, the MWL stressed, represent a direct attack on the territorial integrity and sovereignty of countries in the region.
The MWL also raised alarms about the broader impact of these actions, warning of the dangerous consequences they pose not only to regional security and stability but also to global peace. "This kind of provocative behavior threatens to further escalate tensions in an already volatile region," the statement read. "It undermines efforts to achieve peace and threatens the stability of the entire Middle East, with ramifications that could extend well beyond the region."
The League’s statement highlighted that such actions could fuel further conflict, exacerbate existing crises, and destabilize relations between countries. The MWL reiterated the need for a unified international response to hold Israel accountable for its violations and to ensure the protection of the sovereignty and borders of all states in the region. The organization called for immediate steps to prevent any actions that could inflame the situation further and stressed the importance of respecting international legal frameworks to maintain peace and security.
The MWL's condemnation is in line with its longstanding position of supporting the rights of all nations to preserve their sovereignty and territorial integrity. As a key international body representing the collective interests of the Muslim world, the MWL remains committed to addressing global injustices and working toward a peaceful, just resolution of the longstanding issues in the Middle East, including the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The League concluded its statement by reaffirming its solidarity with the Arab countries affected by the Israeli occupation's expansionist agenda, as well as with the Palestinian people in their pursuit of self-determination and justice. It urged the international community to take immediate and firm action to prevent further violations and to uphold the principles of peace, justice, and respect for international law.
In the face of increasing provocations and territorial disputes, the MWL continues to advocate for diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, one that guarantees the rights and security of all nations and peoples in the region.
