The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed on Tuesday US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza, as well as the international community’s engagement and readiness of key powers to support and ensure its success.

In a statement by the MWL General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General and Organization of Muslim Scholars Chairman Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa said: “Saving lives, halting the Israeli war machine, preventing displacement and annexation plans, and ending the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza are urgent priorities.”

Such steps would pave the way for a political path leading to a just and comprehensive settlement based on the two-state solution, he added.
