Al-Azhar emphasized that there is no time for silence because silence is the beginning of new crimes, and Gaza is a prelude to a future tragedy, and the result is the same: blood will be shed, international crises will worsen, and lines of pain and suffering will be written with the blood of innocent people.
The statement stated that, given the recent developments in the international community, humanity is facing a fundamental turning point that requires us to seriously consider reviewing the evaluation of international justice mechanisms and increasing their effectiveness.
Al-Azhar Egypt, noting that respecting international resolutions is not only a legal obligation but also a solid moral and humane basis for building a world of peace and justice, added:
Ignoring the decisions of the International Criminal Court poses a serious threat to the international community’s efforts to achieve justice for victims of horrific crimes. Therefore, justice knows no borders and no one, regardless of their position or position, can escape punishment.
Despite the international arrest warrant issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for committing war crimes against the people of Gaza, the Hungarian Prime Minister welcomed him on Thursday.
In November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Minister of War Yoav Gallant on charges of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
