Egypt’s Grand Mufti condemns Israeli aggression on graves of the Prophet's companions

CAIRO- 26 December 2020: Egyptian Grand Mufti Shawqi Allam condemned Israeli aggression on the graves of the Prophet's companions and Arab martyrs in Jerusalem, according to a statement from the Egyptian Dar al-Iftaa on Saturday.

 

He called upon the international community and agencies to bear their responsibilities to stop the Israeli violations against Jerusalem and its sanctities, the statement added.

 

The Grand Mufti warned against the ongoing Israeli plots to Judaize the Palestinian occupied city of Jerusalem, change its features, and obliterate its true identity, the statement continued.

 

“These blatant attacks are a flagrant violation, desecration of the dead, and a continuation of brutal repressive measures against Jerusalem, its people, and sanctities,” he said, noting that such acts provoke the feelings of Muslims around the world.
