MWL Strongly Condemns Targeting of School, City of Khan Yunis by Israeli Forces

The Muslim World League (MWL) strongly condemned the bombing of the Al-Tabi'een School by Israeli occupation forces for the second time and the continued bombing of the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, which has led to the martyrdom of hundreds and the injury of dozens.
In a statement by the General Secretariat of the League, Secretary-General and Chairman of the Muslim Scholars Association, Sheikh Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, denounced these ongoing horrific and barbaric crimes targeting civilians and civilian facilities, which, in their brutality, represent a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian laws and norms, SPA reported.
He stressed the urgent need for the international community to respond immediately to the call to stop these massacres that the Israeli war machine continues to commit and to put an end to the systematic crimes against innocent civilians.

Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa received a delegation from Bahrain on Wednesday and met with the Bahraini foreign minister, state media reported.

The visit was the latest in a flurry of diplomatic overtures by Arab countries to Syria’s new leaders after they overthrew former President Bashar al-Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.

Like other Gulf countries, Bahrain had cut off diplomatic ties with Syria under Assad’s rule during the Syrian civil war, but it reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018 and gradually restored ties with the Assad government.

Bahrain is the current head of the Arab summit, and days after Assad’s ouster it had sent a message to al-Sharaa offering its cooperation with the new authorities and saying, “We look forward to Syria regaining its authentic role in the Arab League.”
