His office said in a statement: “These days, the Gaza Strip is being subjected to continuous bombing and intense, unprecedented attacks, which have resulted - up to this time - in the fall of more than six thousand innocent civilians, whether martyred or wounded, and caused the displacement of large numbers of them from their homes, and the destruction of areas A large residential area, and the bombing targets various areas until there is no longer a safe place for people to shelter.”
He pointed out that “the occupation army is imposing a stifling siege on the Gaza Strip, which has recently included water, food, medicine, and other necessities of life, causing the greatest harm to the people who are helpless, as if it wants to take revenge on them and compensate for its resounding loss and great failure in the recent confrontations.” .
He continued: “This is happening in full view of the whole world, and there is no deterrent or hindrance. Rather, there are those who support these criminal acts and justify them under the pretext of self-defense!” He stressed that "the entire world is called upon to stand up to this terrible brutality and prevent the occupation forces from continuing to implement their plans to inflict more harm on the oppressed Palestinian people."
Al-Sistani believed that “ending the tragedy of this honorable people - which has been going on for seven decades - by obtaining their legitimate rights and removing the occupation from their usurped lands is the only way to bring security and peace to this region. Without that, resistance to the aggressors will continue and the cycle of violence will continue to claim more innocent lives.”
Immediately, the Islamic Dawa Party, headed by Nouri al-Maliki, called for al-Sistani’s statement to be made a “platform” in confronting the Zionist enemy.

[size=45]He stated that “what is stated in this statement is not strange to the history and present of this pioneering reference leadership in taking authentic Islamic positions, and this frank paternalistic speech is a legitimate guidance to the nation regarding the ongoing confrontation between the brutal Zionist machine and the Palestinian people who demand their legitimate and established rights.” Internationally, it defends its land and honor and confronts the most powerful force that rebels against international and humanitarian resolutions, as besieging and killing our people in wounded Gaza with these barbaric methods only expresses the vengeful spirit of this Zionist enemy and its shaky entity.”
The statement pointed out that “the position of the supreme authority comes to confirm a major fact that the Palestinian right has not and will not be lost in the face of the arrogance of the Zionists and their disregard for the lives of innocent Muslims, including the elderly, women and children.”
He stated that “the historical statement of authority is a method and guide for all free people who listen to what is said and follow the best of it. The authority has clarified the legitimate and unequivocal Islamic position, and called for the removal of the effects of occupation and aggression, and the free people of the world, with all their trends and affiliations, must place this strategic position in the priorities of their calculations and they are They move to support Palestine and its oppressed people.”
The party expressed its hope that “Islamic cities and jurisprudence academies will take similar positions in supporting Muslims, as no Muslim is the one who hears his brother’s conscience and does not respond to him.”

Meanwhile, the leader of the “State of Law” coalition, Representative Yasser al-Maliki, directed the House of Representatives to call on the government to send urgent relief aid to the occupied Gaza Strip.
He stated in his “blog” that “based on the statement of His Eminence Imam al-Sistani in support of the steadfastness of the brothers in Gaza, the State of Law bloc in the House of Representatives adopts a draft resolution calling on the government to send humanitarian support convoys to our besieged civilians in Gaza and to approach the Egyptian side to obtain the necessary approvals as quickly as possible.” ».
The House of Representatives has set a date for tomorrow, Saturday, to hold an extraordinary session to discuss developments in the situation in Palestine.

[size=45]Brutal attacks[/size]
[size=45]A statement to the Waqf’s media stated, “It is regrettable and disgraceful to humanity that the dear Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip were subjected to brutal attacks that relentlessly targeted innocent civilians, which led to thousands of casualties, including martyrs and wounded, the displacement of families, and the transformation of large residential areas into rubble, which was met with shameful international silence.” In light of the heinous crimes carried out by the Zionist occupation army here and there, without exception, there is no space available to them until they have become disaster areas that have not stirred feelings of humanity in most countries and have not prompted human rights advocates to sympathize with the Palestinian people and demand an end to the brutal aggression against safe civilians.”
He added: “The matter did not stop at that, but an unjust siege was imposed to cut off the supplies of water, food, and medicine to inflict more harm on the people who were helpless.”
According to the statement, “Despite all of this, the steadfastness and defiance of the struggling Palestinian people in defense of their land, honor, and sanctities is still clearly visible on the scene of events. At a time when we salute the cohesion of this people and their heroic stance in the face of the oppressive Zionist oppression, we call on the international community to assume its responsibility and do its duty to stop... Shedding Palestinian blood and protecting the Gaza Strip from these blatant brutal attacks that shame humanity.”
The Shiite Endowment called on “international organizations, led by the UN Security Council, to play their role in enforcing respect for charters and principles of international law and the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by putting an end to the recklessness of the occupying forces, and taking into consideration that the radical solution is to stop armed confrontations and bring peace to the region.” It lies in the oppressed Palestinian people gaining all their legitimate rights, restoring their usurped lands, and extending their national sovereignty over them. Otherwise, the region will become more heated, the spiral of violence will continue, the infection will spread to other regions, and matters may reach undesirable consequences.” Since the launch of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” earlier this week, Iraqi political forces and figures have expressed their solidarity with the rights of the Palestinian people to live in an independent state, denouncing all the violations that the occupation forces continue to commit against the Palestinians.
However, Representative Hassan Salem, from the “Sadiqoun Parliamentary Bloc”, which represents “Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq” in Parliament, expressed his deep dissatisfaction with what he described as “the silence of the Sunni and Kurdish blocs” towards the brutal events taking place in Gaza, where massacres are being carried out against children, women and the elderly. By the Zionists.
He stated in a statement that “this silence is unacceptable and violates the values ​​of Islamic and human brotherhood,” considering this silence to be “similar to the positions taken by some countries of normalization and timid positions toward the current events,” according to him.
He pointed out that “the United States declared its unlimited support for the Zionists in an attempt to reap and annihilate the Palestinian people,” stressing the necessity of “standing by the Palestinian people in these difficult moments, and working to stop the brutal Zionist aggression against Gaza.”
He also called on the Sunni and Kurdish blocs to “assume their responsibilities, express their solidarity with the Palestinian people, and put pressure to stop this shocking human tragedy.”
Salem’s words come despite the fact that the leader of the Sunni Al-Azm Alliance, Muthanna Al-Samarrai, called on the political forces and the House of Representatives to legislate a new law that includes support for the Palestinian people.
Al-Samarrai, who heads the most prominent Sunni political alliances with the Shiite “coordinating framework,” said during a press conference held in Salah al-Din Governorate, that “Israel is an intruding entity and the countries of the region must unite against it,” considering that “what is happening in Gaza towards the civilians of our people The Palestinian Authority is a crime of genocide for which Israel is primarily responsible, and all the countries supporting it are indirectly responsible as a result of their support for this usurping entity.”
He added: “The political forces and the House of Representatives must legislate a new law that includes support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate struggle,” stressing that “the plight of the Palestinian people united Iraqis of all sects and components, and they stand today interacting with this issue.”
He praised “the position of the Iraqi government,” describing it as “honorable toward the Palestinian issue,” stressing “the pride of the people of Saladin Governorate, which bears the name of the Liberator of Jerusalem, in belonging to this great title, as it is a historical responsibility on the shoulders of everyone who belongs to it.”
Also, the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq called on the Kurdish political parties to take a “unified position” on the violence taking place between Israel and Gaza.
The official spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government, Peshwa Hawrami, said in a press conference, “The ongoing war between Palestine and Israel has resulted in a large number of innocent victims on both sides.”
He added: “With regard to the Kurdistan region and the impact of this war on it, the political parties must sit together, study the issue, and take a position on what is happening.”[/size]
