Al-Azhar Al-Sharif condemned, today, Thursday, the position of the German Foreign Minister in support of the bombing of civilians in Gaza.

Al-Azhar said in a statement, "We regret the extremist statements made by the German Foreign Minister regarding her country's support for the Zionist entity's bombing of civilian areas in Gaza," stressing that "these statements are a moral and political setback, a civilizational regression, and a political fatwa that allows criminals to practice killing innocent civilians and removing peoples from the face of the earth. They are also clear evidence of blind bias in supporting Zionist terrorism and blessing its crimes." 

Al-Azhar stressed that "the issuance of such extremist statements by a senior official is a precedent that warns of great danger, as it carries explicit support for this entity in killing civilians, including children, women, and youth. 

" The statement continued, "Al-Azhar also regrets the issuance of these inciting statements by officials who were thought to mediate and work to immediately stop the aggression that has exceeded a full year, and which was agreed upon by the free peoples of Europe and America, and even the entire world, but the hopes of humanity were disappointed when the German Minister chose to stand behind the perpetrators, which threatens all mediation efforts to stop the aggression."

The statement explained that "Al-Azhar reminds the German Foreign Minister of her country's humanitarian stance in receiving refugees from various countries of the world during the past few years, due to the coercive circumstances that occurred in their countries of wars and conflicts, which is fundamentally inconsistent with this extremist statement resulting from a sense of historical guilt," stressing that "this statement represents a stigma on German policy, and its transformation into the opposite from a supporter of humanitarian issues to an instigator of the most heinous crimes against defenseless civilians."
