Al-Azhar and Arab Parliament Condemn Israel's Seizure of Rafah Crossing as a War Crime and Humanitarian Crisis
Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, the highest Islamic learning institution, and the Arab Parliament strongly condemned Israel's actions in Rafah city in the Gaza Strip.
On Tuesday, Israel sent tanks into Rafah, seizing control of the border crossing with Egypt, denying the UN access to a key humanitarian passage.
Al-Azhar described the Israeli operation as an attempt to invade Rafah, tighten the siege on Gaza, and isolate it from the outside world.
The institution labeled it a "full-fledged war crime" and an addition to the ongoing brutal crimes against Palestinians by Israel for over 200 days.
Al-Azhar, a prominent Islamic institution, condemned recent "inhumane criminal attempts" by Israel in Rafah, Gaza, calling them massacres and a violation of international law.
The institution expressed concern for the safety of Palestinian civilians and criticized international silence and inaction.
Al-Azhar described the world as governed by a double standard and called on the international community, organizations, and parties to intervene and stop daily crimes against Palestinians, lift the siege on Gaza, and prevent Israeli plans.
The text discusses the concerns of Al-Azhar and the Arab Parliament regarding Israel's capture of the Rafah crossing in Gaza.
This action gives Israel control over the entry and exit of people and goods, effectively suffocating and imprisoning approximately 2 million civilians, including women, children, the elderly, and the sick.
The Arab Parliament views this as a dangerous escalation that undermines ceasefire efforts and is a death sentence for the wounded and sick due to the collapsed health system in Gaza.
Israel has maintained a blockade of the coastal enclave since withdrawing soldiers and settlers in 2005.
The Arab Parliament condemned Israel's actions in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in Rafah, as a violation of international laws and a step towards genocide and forced displacement of Palestinians.
The organization urged the international community, UN Security Council, and US administration to put pressure on Israel to reach a sustainable truce and immediate and permanent ceasefire.
Israel's actions were described as a lawless act and a threat to peace.
The Bahamas' recognition of Palestine as a state was praised by a group, who saw it as a victory for the Palestinian cause and diplomacy.
This comes at a time when the group believes Israel's plans to resolve the Palestinian issue are being exposed.
