Al-Azhar Welcomes Barcelona's Decision to Cut Ties with Israel
Mohamed Mandour Al-Azhar Observatory for Combating Extremism on Saturday welcomed a decision by the municipality of Barcelona to sever all ties with Israel, describing it as a 'bold and historic stance' in protest against what it called an ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. In a statement, the Observatory praised Barcelona's suspension of its twinning agreement with Tel Aviv — originally signed in 1998 — and the city's decision to halt cooperation with companies linked to Israel. The municipality also pledged to review existing contracts with entities potentially involved, directly or indirectly, in supporting military operations against Palestinians. The move, Al-Azhar said, reflects 'a genuine commitment to the principles of justice and human rights' and 'a deep sense of human responsibility' in confronting 'Zionist violations against innocent civilians in Gaza.' The Observatory also commended the Spanish government's broader support for the Palestinian cause and called for increased political and diplomatic pressure to isolate what it described as a 'terrorist entity' responsible for 'crimes unparalleled in modern history.' Al-Azhar, the highest seat of Sunni Islamic learning, has been vocal in its condemnation of the war in Gaza and continues to advocate for international action to end the bloodshed. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
