Al-Azhar Condemns Houthi Attacks and Stresses the Need to Protect Holy Sites in Saudi Arabia
Published
Al-Azhar Al-Sharif condemned the Houthi attacks targeting the holy sites and civilian facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This condemnation comes at a time when developments related to these attacks continue, and the relevant authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
Al-Azhar affirmed that the holy places hold a special status among all Muslims around the world and must be protected from any aggression. It also stressed that civilian facilities must remain far from violence, as targeting them harms people's lives, security, and stability.
On another note, several Islamic bodies have called for the formation of an urgent mediation committee to work toward halting escalation and preventing bloodshed. Those making these calls believe that dialogue and negotiation are the best path to ending the crisis and avoiding further losses.
This position comes amid growing calls for calm and for prioritizing dialogue to preserve the security of the region. Follow-up will continue to determine the outcome of diplomatic efforts in the coming days.
