Muftis of the North Caucasus called on the UN to complete the creation of a Palestinian state

An appeal to the UN published on the website of the Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus notes that the world is faced with unprecedented Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians.

“This is happening with attempts at total destruction of the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip, bombing of hospitals and schools, cutting off the supply of electricity and drinking water. In just a few days, more than 3,000 people were killed and more than 10,000 wounded. Children, women and old people continue to die every minute. All of these Israeli actions constitute state terrorism and genocide,” the appeal says.

The muftis of the North Caucasus called on the UN to stop the genocide of the inhabitants of Palestine and take all necessary measures to implement the relevant resolution and complete the process of creating a Palestinian state. “If there is no proper response from the UN, Muslims around the world will be forced to intervene in this process. We are confident that such intervention will be forced and harsh,” the appeal said.
