The Research and Sharia Studies Council of the Libyan Fatwa House strongly condemned the statements of US President Donald Trump, in which he called for the displacement of Gaza’s residents to Egypt and Jordan.
The Council described these remarks as provocative racism, in which the US president openly declares his intent to commit a major war crime and an act of ethnic cleansing, displaying an unprecedented disregard for Muslims and their leaders.
The Council reminded all Muslims—both rulers and citizens—of their duty to support their brothers in Gaza by all possible means that help them remain in their homeland and steadfastly defend their positions. It also called on Muslims to reject and denounce Trump's statements in every possible way, without ambiguity or hesitation.
It also warned that silence on this crime will have consequences. The statement stressed that the enemy no longer conceals its intentions for Palestine and Muslims, aiming to expand into Arab lands and annex them to the Zionist entity.
