The distinguished Jaafari Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qablan addressed the leaders and kings at the Arab-Islamic summit held in Riyadh, saying: "Set aside your differences and rise for your dignity. There is no honor for Arabs and Muslims while Gaza burns and Palestine is violated. What is needed is to take retaliatory measures targeting the core interests of Tel Aviv; a summit declaration without retaliatory sanctions is worth less than paper. I say this because Gaza is burning, your honor is being violated, your interests are being trampled, and your kin are in pieces. Washington, Tel Aviv, and Brussels are undermining your honor, and revenge against Tel Aviv is necessary, along with severing ties with Washington and Brussels. Normalization is the greatest of crimes, and insistence on diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv is a public partnership based on the blood and remains of Arabs and Muslims."
He concluded: "Silence towards Tel Aviv is a betrayal as great as the betrayal of Joseph's brothers, if not greater. The opportunity is at hand because the achievements of the Zionist war are strategically zero; Israel has lost the war. The arsenal of Tel Aviv and America's fleets are composed of children and women and rubble. The land belongs to the resistance, not to Tel Aviv and its defeated army. Gaza is now a strategic trap for the Zionists and a historic gain for Arabs and Muslims, if they rise for their dignity. Any action short of cutting off oil and gas supplies to the markets of America, Europe, and Tel Aviv has no value. The Arab-Islamic summit is a historic moment to affirm the existence of Arabs and Muslims; without that, there is no existence for Muslims and Arabs."
