Egypt’s Ministry of Awqaf has condemned the Israeli Knesset’s approval of what it called a “prisoner execution law”. It described the move as a serious escalation and a clear violation of humanitarian values and international law.
The ministry said the law undermines the rights of prisoners and permits inhumane treatment.
It added that the measure reflects policies that disregard human life and basic standards of
justice.
It stressed that occupation has no legitimacy. It also said that, under international law,
occupying powers are responsible for people and resources in occupied territories.
The ministry strongly condemned the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque and restrictions on
worshippers.
It said these actions violate freedom of worship and provoke Muslims worldwide.
It warned that such policies could increase tensions and harm regional stability.
It also called on the international community to act and stop these violations, in line with Egypt’s position.
The ministry reaffirmed that lasting peace requires a just and comprehensive solution, which
includes the establishment of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its
capital.
It added that such measures would not weaken the Palestinian people. It reaffirmed their right
to life, freedom, and religious practice, especially at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
