Calling for Gaza Ceasefire A Moral Obligation: Texas Muslim Leaders

IQNA – Muslim leaders from across the US state of Texas described efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza as a moral obligation.

They are coming together to call on political and elected officials to demand a ceasefire in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

The leaders expressed deep concern over the staggering human toll in the Gaza Strip, with nearly 20,000 Palestinians, including 8,000 children, senselessly killed. 

“Our hearts are heavy with grief for the families who have lost loved ones, especially the children who should never have to endure the horrors of war,” said William White, Director of CAIR-Houston. “It is our moral obligation to stand together and call for a ceasefire to prevent further loss of life and alleviate the suffering of those affected.”

Regardless of political affiliations, these leaders are united in their plea for officials to prioritize the safety and well-being of the innocent caught amid this devastating conflict.

The joint statement from Texas Muslim leaders states in part:

“We, a coalition representing over 500,000 Muslims in Texas, urgently appeal to you regarding the dire situation in Gaza. We condemn the state-sponsored attacks by Israel and call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire…”
