Lebanese Scholars Slam Arab Countries’ Silence over Tel Aviv’s Illegitimate Move

TEHRAN (IQNA) - Lebanon’s Association of Muslim Scholars criticized Arab countries for their silence over the Zionist regime’s recent vote on a “Jewish state”.


 They regretted that most Arab leaders have not shown any reaction to this illegal move.



“Is is not the time for rulers of Arab countries to show their anger (over the Zionist regime’s violations) and stand up for the victory of the Palestinian people?” they asked. 

In yet another sign of increasing efforts to Judaize the occupied Palestinian territories, Tel Aviv has voted in favor of a controversial motion aimed to anchor what it calls a “Jewish state” in law.

The bill was sent to the Knesset (parliament) to be discussed by legislators for the first time on November 26.

The new development has been seen as an extension of the Zionist regime’s efforts over the past decades to change the demographic makeup of al-Quds (Jerusalem) by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites and expelling the local Palestinian population.

Palestinians argue that al-Quds is the capital of a future independent Palestinian state, and that its heritage should remain intact.
