RIYADH: Global leaders urged governments and religious leaders to condemn the war in Gaza and act urgently to stop the massacre, pressing the Israeli occupation government to end the crisis. They said the tragedy exposes the failure of international law and accountability.
The statement concluded the second International Summit of Religious Leaders, “The Role of Religious Leaders in Conflict Resolution,” held in Kuala Lumpur by the Malaysian Prime Minister’s Office in cooperation with the Muslim World League, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
The summit was inaugurated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the secretary-general of the MWL, Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, with 400 prominent religious leaders from around the world in attendance.
In their statement, the religious leaders urged the international community to pressure the Israeli occupation government to comply with international and human rights treaties, end the suffering of the Palestinian people, guarantee their legitimate rights, and establish an independent state in line with relevant international resolutions.
They expressed support for the final document of the high-level international conference on the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian question and the two-state solution, hosted by Saudi Arabia and France at the UN in New York.
