President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu stated tonight that countries supporting Israel cannot call for peace while providing weapons, and that the lives of innocent Palestinians have become worthless due to the inaction of powerful nations.
In his speech at the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Saudi Arabia, President Muizzu said that the suffering of Palestinians from Israel’s excessive and cruel actions is not just a 13-month-old issue, but a decades-old problem. He also described Israel’s actions against Palestinians as acts of terrorism.
The President highlighted that nearly 50,000 Palestinians and over 1,000 Lebanese have been martyred in Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestine.
“Every death is a great tragedy. Families have been torn apart. Young children have been orphaned and left alone. Hopes lie buried under collapsed buildings. Dreams have been buried before they could become reality. This cannot continue,” the President said.
He criticized powerful nations for their silence, which he said has silenced global condemnation of the atrocities and demonstrated that the lives of innocent Palestinians have no value in the eyes of the world.
“Their (powerful nations’) imposed silence and inaction intensify Israel’s cruelty,” the President said in the meeting, which was also attended by Islamic Minister Dr. Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed and Foreign Minister Dr. Abdulla Khaleel.
President Muizzu stated that the approach of powerful nations to the Palestinian issue has failed to secure the rights of Palestinians. He also mentioned that the misuse of veto power has prevented Israel from being held accountable.
“I want to state very clearly that there can be no call for peace while providing weapons,” the President emphasized.
He called for meaningful changes in support of Palestinian rights and urged immediate action. “If we as an Ummah do not take action now, history will judge us harshly,” he warned.
The President also condemned Israel’s destruction of UNRWA, the UN agency that has been assisting Palestinian refugees for 75 years, describing it as a crucial organization. He called on the international community to continue supporting UNRWA.
