Sheikh Ali Youssef, head of the Al-Quds Department of the Palestinian Scholars Association in Lebanon, asserts that the voice of Gaza and resistance is the strongest in the world, representing the plight and dignity of the Palestinian people.

Why it matters:
Sheikh Youssef's statements highlight the ongoing genocide of oppressed Palestinians by the Israeli Zionist regime and the urgent need for solidarity within the Muslim community to confront Israeli aggression.

 

The big picture:
As the resumption of the Zionist regime's crimes against the oppressed Palestinians in Gaza, voices from the Palestinian diaspora, like Sheikh Youssef, are calling for a unified response against Israeli actions, emphasizing the importance of resistance and support for the Palestinian cause.

What he's saying:

In an exclusive interview, Sheikh Youssef stated, "The voice of Gaza and Palestine is the loudest voice of the oppressed in the world," underscoring the legitimacy of Palestinians' right to defend their land. He condemned Israel's ongoing policies of terror and violence, warning that the occupation is not limited to Gaza but aims to extend its reach into Lebanon.
Sheikh Youssef emphasized that silence in the face of Israeli actions is no longer acceptable. He called for a response to the Israeli enemy using the same language of force that they employ. 
Sheikh Youssef urged the Islamic community to stand firmly with Gaza, mobilizing all available resources to resist Israeli attacks.

Go deeper:

Sheikh Youssef's remarks reflect a broader sentiment among Palestinian leaders and activists who are calling for increased support and action from the Muslim world. As the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, the emphasis on resistance and solidarity highlights the urgent need for a collective response to the ongoing genocide of oppressed Palestinians in Gaza and the protection of Palestinian rights.
