Makkah, December 15, 2024 – The Muslim World League (MWL) has strongly condemned the bombing of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip by Israeli occupation forces, calling it a "horrific crime" that has resulted in the tragic loss of innocent civilian lives. In a statement released today, Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, Secretary General of the MWL and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, denounced this latest attack as part of an ongoing pattern of brutal violations committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.
Sheikh Dr. Al-Issa expressed deep sorrow over the senseless loss of life and reiterated that such actions only serve to intensify the suffering of the Palestinian population, who have long endured violence and oppression. He emphasized that the bombing of civilian areas, especially in refugee camps where vulnerable populations reside, represents a blatant disregard for human rights and the principles of international law. The attack, which claimed multiple innocent lives and left many more injured, has sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice from global human rights organizations and governments alike.
The MWL Secretary General called on the international community to urgently assume its responsibility in holding the Israeli government accountable for its actions. He stressed the importance of global intervention to protect civilians from such atrocities, which he described as shaking the conscience of every living person. Sheikh Dr. Al-Issa further urged the United Nations and other international bodies to take meaningful action to stop these repeated violations and ensure the protection of Palestinian civilians in conflict zones.
He also underscored the need for the international community to prioritize the rights and security of Palestinians, advocating for a stronger, more coordinated response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The MWL remains firm in its commitment to support the Palestinian cause and call for justice for those affected by the violence in Gaza and other occupied territories.
This condemnation from the MWL highlights the growing global concern over the Israeli occupation’s actions in Gaza, with the organization continuing to call for an end to the violence and for greater efforts to address the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In addition to condemning the recent bombing, Sheikh Dr. Al-Issa reiterated the League’s ongoing commitment to promoting peace, justice, and human rights for all peoples, particularly those enduring oppression and injustice.
The MWL's statement reflects the broader solidarity of the Muslim world in denouncing violence and advocating for the protection of civilians, while calling for immediate and sustained efforts to resolve the conflict and bring lasting peace to the region.
