Referring to the recent remarks of the Israeli authorities regarding the complete remove of Hamas in order to maintain Israel’s security, the most influential Iranian Sunni leader noted: “Returning the occupied territories to the Palestinians and establishing an independent Palestinian state will ensure the security of all sides.
Shaikh Abdol-Hamid was talking to tens of thousands of worshippers in Zahedan’s biggest Friday gathering on Nov 22, 2023.
Israeli attacks on Gaza are clear atrocities and crimes
The Iranian top Sunni leader pointed out to the Israeli crimes in Gaza and said: “Israel has announced that it will not be safe until Hamas is completely eradicated. So far, Israel has martyred about 20,000 defenseless and innocent Palestinians, including women and children. Neither divine nor international law allows the massacre of a nation, the destruction of cities, hospitals, mosques and places of worships. Destruction of places of worships provokes anger of nations.”
“Israel’s actions are clear atrocities and violations of rights. Instead of massacres and destruction of cities, Israel should have negotiated with the Palestinians; this would be in the interest of Israel and would ensure its security, “the Friday prayer leader of Sunnis in Zahedan believed.
“Experts believe that with the remove of Hamas, the security of Israel and the Palestinians will not be guaranteed. No party should think that the security will achieve by removing the other side, rather, security will be provided through negotiation and fair and just debate. All parties will achieve peace and security by implementing justice, “said the president of Darululoom Zahedan. He added: “The security of all sides will be ensured when the occupied territories are returned to the Palestinians. The Gaza war has hit the Israelis; as people all over the world have become pessimistic about Israel. Americans have also lost their reputation by supporting Israel with no reason.
“America’s unquestioning support for Israel, and its participation in the killing of Palestinians and in the destruction of cities is a great defeat for the American nation”, said the eminent Iranian Sunni scholar of Zahedan.
Pakistani authorities should listen to the complaints of the people of Balochistan
Referring to the recent protests in Balochistan province of Pakistan, the most outstanding Iranian Sunni scholar noted: “I call on the Pakistani authorities to pay attention to the complaints of the people of Balochistan province. Especially they should hear the voices of women who recently held a protest march. If the protestors complain that their people are being killed or are missing, the Pakistani authorities should sit with the protestors and listen to them.”
“All over the world, governments should negotiate with protesters, sit with them, and if their rights are lost, treat them fairly and solve their problems, “said the Friday Imam of Zahedan.
We condemn violence
Justice guarantees security
The president of Darululoom Zahedan went on to say: “Once, In a conference in Tehran, in the presence of the President and Speaker of the Parliament, I said that violence creates violence, increases problems and causes dissatisfaction of people. I would like to advise all governments to avoid violence, be adhere to negotiations and solve problems with fairness and justice. Solve problems through dialogue.”
He added: “People’s voices must be heard. We have to see what is the problem and pain of the people. The government should solve the legitimate demands of the people. Violence creates problems. We condemn violence and emphasize on solving problems through legal means. Of course, besides debate, there should be a positive result. We also emphasize on maintaining the security, because security is in everyone’s interest.”
“Security must be preserved. Our province and country should be safe and there should be grounds for debate. Justice and fairness guarantee the security. If justice and fairness are observed, everyone will be safe, “said Imam of the Grand Makki Mosque of Zahedan.
