Muslim World League Welcomes Gaza Ceasefire Agreement

The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the announcement of a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, appreciating the efforts of the State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the United States of America in achieving this agreement.
In a statement, MWL Secretary-General and chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa expressed hope that the agreement would bring an end to the horrific humanitarian tragedy endured by the Gaza Strip, with all the catastrophic dimensions of the brutal aggression it has faced, the Saudi Press Agency reported Thursday.
He stressed the importance of full adherence to the agreement, the cessation of aggression, and the complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from the Gaza Strip and all Palestinian territories.
Al-Issa also emphasized the need for the Palestinian people to get their full rights, foremost among them the establishment of their independent, sovereign state along the 1967 borders, with east Jerusalem as its capital.
