The Muslim World League (MWL) has condemned, in the strongest terms, the savage attack carried out by Israeli settlers on the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) in occupied Jerusalem.
In a statement by the Secretariat General, MWL Secretary-General, and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa held the occupation forces accountable for repeating these crimes committed against innocent civilians and workers in humanitarian and relief organizations.

He also called on the international community to take serious and effective action to stop these crimes and the continuous violations of all international and humanitarian laws in the Palestinian territories.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah held telephone talks on Monday with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty.

Discussions focused on the latest developments in Syria.

A statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said Abdelatty stressed “the importance of supporting the Syrian state during this critical moment in Syria’s history.”

He underscored the need to respect its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to empower its national institutions.

He called for the adoption of a comprehensive political process, led by the Syrian people, so that stability can be restored throughout their country.

The FMs also discussed the latest developments in Gaza, with Abdellaty briefing Prince Faisal on Egypt’s “intense efforts with all concerned parties to reach an immediate and sustainable ceasefire and to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.”
