Statement on the veto of the draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza
Makkah:
The Muslim World League expressed its discontent and regret at the overturn of the draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which was submitted by the Republic of Algeria at the Security Council, with the aim of protecting the lives and property of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
In a statement by the General Secretariat of the Muslim World League, His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, the Secretary-General of the MWL and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, reiterated his call on the international community to assume its responsibilities towards protecting civilians, maintaining international peace and security, and ending the humanitarian disaster and the barbaric war in Gaza, which is a flagrant violation of all its laws and customs. It also threatens, with its barbarism, and tampers in the confidence in its system and cohesion.
