MWL Condemns Escalating Israeli Settler Violence against Palestinians in West Bank

The Muslim World League (MWL) strongly condemned the continued attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday. The latest Israeli aggression in the West Bank targeted the Grand Mosque in the village of Jiljilya and Al-Farouq Mosque north of Ramallah. In a statement issued by the MWL General Secretariat, Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa denounced the escalating waves of violence carried out by settlers against Palestinians and their property and sacred sites in the occupied West Bank. He said the attacks constitute a grave violation of the sanctity of places of worship and of all international and humanitarian laws and norms, undermine peace efforts, and threaten security and stability in the region.
