Grand Mufti of Oman: Zionist Attack on Flotilla Is an Assault on Humanity
Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al-Khalili condemns Israeli aggression on humanitarian mission to break Gaza siege, urges Arab and Islamic unity against occupation.
Oman, PUREWILAYAH.COM - The Grand Mufti of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al-Khalili, issued a strong condemnation on Thursday following the Zionist aggression against the Flotilla of Steadfastness, which was carrying out a humanitarian mission to break the siege on Gaza.
He described the act as “an assault on humanitarian service itself”, emphasizing that the flotilla’s task was solely to lift the unjust blockade on Gaza and open channels of solidarity with the world.
In a statement posted on his account on the platform “X,” Sheikh Al-Khalili stated:
“The aggression of the Zionist entity against the Flotilla of Steadfastness — whose task is to lift the unjust blockade on Gaza and open channels of communication with its friends across the world to achieve the removal of this oppression — is nothing but an assault on humanitarian service, which is the very mission of the flotilla.”
Call for Arab, Islamic, and Global Action
The Grand Mufti of Oman also stressed that the incident demands urgent action:
“This matter calls for the concerted efforts of the free world to curb such arrogant aggression.
It doubles the responsibility upon Arab and Islamic states, particularly the neighboring countries. This is also a popular demand globally, expressed in continuous demonstrations.”
The Omani Grand Mufti concluded with prayers for the full success of the flotilla’s mission and for the besieged people of Gaza to achieve swift relief. He asked God Almighty to thwart the plots of the aggressors and turn their hostility back upon them. (PW)
