The Makkah-based Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the adoption of a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly to recognize the State of Palestine's right to full membership in the UN.
In a statement, MWL Secretary General and the Chairman of the Association of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa confirmed that the resolution clearly expresses the international consensus in favor of the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state, within the framework of the two-state solution.
The MWL Secretary-General also praised the noble position of the countries that voted in favor of the resolution, calling on the leaders of UN Security Council members to fulfill their historical responsibility and stand with the human and legal right of the Palestinian people.
