MB appreciates decisions to sever diplomatic and commercial relations with the occupying entity and demands more

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) appreciates the escalating official positions in the face of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, in response to the genocide crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the occupying entity against the people of Gaza, in what appears to be a new wave in confrontation of the aggression, especially amid reports about the occupation’s intention to storm the city of Rafah – which has a population of one and a half a million of displaced people – and commit more massacres against civilians.

In this respect, the MB deeply expresses its appreciation of the decision made by Colombian President Gustavo Petro to sever his country's diplomatic relations with the occupying entity. It also expresses its appreciation of the Turkish decision also issued today to sever trade relations with the occupying entity, one day after its decision to officially join the genocide case against the Nazi entity – such decisions that the MB has long called for, to pressurize the entity to stop its crimes.

The Brotherhood also asserts that isolating the occupying entity politically and boycotting it economically, at both the official and popular levels, in addition to prosecuting it, can curb the arrogance of power of an entity that sees itself as above international law and legitimacy. Therefore, the MB once again calls on countries and governments, especially the Arab and Islamic countries, to make decisions and take measures that give precedence to the law and humanity. In this regard, we cannot fail to refer to the address of the Colombian president while announcing the severing of relations with the Israeli entity, saying: “If Palestine dies... humanity dies,” and adding, “And we are not going to let it die”.

 

Allah Is the Greatest; and May Praise Be to Allah
