Hezbollah in a statement on Tuesday called on all Arabs and Muslims “to fulfill their religious and ethical duty toward the Palestinian people.”

This comes as thousands of people, mostly students, took to the streets across Gaza to protest the opening of the synagogue near the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and recent Israeli settlement expansions in East Jerusalem.

The party expressed its solidarity with the Palestinian people and commended the bravery of the Palestinian youth in defending al-Aqsa Mosque.

It also voiced strong condemnation of the “Israeli attacks that are encouraged by international complicity and Arab silence.”

The statement called on Arab and Islamic governments, the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference to take “practical, rapid and courageous steps to deter Israel and inform the nation of available options other than negotiation.”
