GCC leaders call for halt to war crimes in Gaza, end of Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories

RIYADH: Leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council on Sunday called for an end to Israeli war crimes in Gaza, the displacement of the region’s population, and the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.

The leaders stressed their firm support during a meeting in Kuwait for the Palestinian cause and its sovereignty over all Palestinian territories occupied since June 1967, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The “Kuwait Declaration,” which was issued at the 45th session of the Supreme Council of the GCC, praised the growing role of Gulf countries in addressing regional and global political, security, and economic challenges.
It also praised their contribution to resolving issues that threatened peace, security, and stability, and for enhancing international dialogue and communication between countries.

IT'S COMING...

The “KUWAIT DECLARATION,” which was issued at the 45th session of the Supreme Council of the GCC, praised the growing role of Gulf countries in addressing regional and global political, security, and economic challenges.

GCC leaders also welcomed the resolutions of the Extraordinary Arab and Islamic Summit hosted by Saudi Arabia October 30-31, to enhance international action to stop the war on Gaza; achieve PERMANENT and comprehensive PEACE; implement the 2-state solution in accordance with the Arab Peace 🕊️ Initiative; mobilize support for recognizing the State of Palestine 🇵🇸 ; and lead the GLOBAL COALITION to implement the 2-state solution.

 
Whereabouts?
It's in the Shia versions of their eschatology. I don't have it at my fingertips but if you look up the Twelver beliefs, it'll show up. That is why a lot of the Shia muslims from Iran want to actually bring on a world ending conflagration because that is supposed to summon up the 12th Imam. It is a core belief in the inner circles of Shia leaders in Iran and their armed forces.

Thank you. I shall look this up.

However, my question to @Spartan Sprinter still stands.

Blessings.

While you're at it, you'll find it helpful to research the practice of takiyyah. Takiyyah refers to lying (or dissimulation, to put a nicer face on it) in order to protect oneself from harm. According to the Shia, the principle is found in sura 3, verse 28 and sura 16, verse 106. Some Sunni scholars disagree with this practice, but not all. And the Iranian majority Shia definitely hold to it.

I'm not 100% sure as i've only heard Ex muslims who've converted to Christianity state this .

This is what i've found if it's of any help:

Quran (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.

Quran (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which means 'cunning,' 'guile' and 'deceit'. If Allah is supremely deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21)

Quran (2:225) - "Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts" (see also 5:89)

Thank you Spartan and @mattfivefour. Food for thought :).

God willing, I shall come back to you, sooner rather than later. At my age......79 this month......it is likely to be a wee bit on the later side! (take note @Margery!).

Blessings, and have a great day.
