Here is a simplified, Portuguese version of the article, explaining the views of four Muslim leaders on the Israel-Palestine conflict, based on their speeches at the UN General Assembly:
1. President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan harshly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, calling the war against Hamas “genocide.” He showed images of the destruction in Gaza and said that there are not two equal sides in the conflict, but rather a powerful army against innocent civilians, including children.
For him, this is not a fight against terrorism, but an occupation and destruction of lives.
He also accused Israel of attacking other countries, such as Syria, Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, and Qatar, and criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not seeking peace or releasing hostages.
Erdogan believes that Israel’s actions threaten the human rights values “”established after World War II.
2. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto
Subianto, leader of the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, argued that peace in the region depends on ensuring Israel’s security.
He ended his speech with the word “Shalom” (peace in Hebrew).
Although Indonesia does not have diplomatic relations with Israel, he said that if Israel recognizes Palestine as a state, Indonesia will recognize Israel immediately.
He also offered up to 20,000 Indonesian soldiers for UN peacekeeping missions in Gaza and other locations, such as Ukraine, Sudan, and Libya, demonstrating support for the idea of “”peace with concrete actions.
3. King Abdullah II of Jordan
King Abdullah strongly criticized the Israeli government, saying it does not want peace and that its actions destroy the chances of a Palestinian state.
He described the war in Gaza as one of the darkest moments in the history of the UN, with thousands killed and injured, as well as widespread destruction.
He accused Israel of expanding illegal settlements, demolishing homes, and disrespecting Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
He believes promises of a “Greater Israel” violate the sovereignty of neighboring countries, and the rhetoric surrounding Al-Aqsa Mosque could lead to a religious war.
He called for concrete actions from the international community to support peace and the release of hostages.
4. Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani
The emir of Qatar accused Israel of trying to destroy Gaza, making it a place where no one can live, study, or receive treatment.
He criticized a recent Israeli attack in Doha, the capital of Qatar, against Hamas leaders, calling it “state terrorism” and an attempt to disrupt peace negotiations.
He believes the Israeli government, led by Netanyahu, does not want to free hostages or seek peace, but rather to expand settlements and change the status of holy sites, such as the Temple Mount.
He said Israel views its Arab neighbors as enemies and tries to impose its will, labeling those who disagree as anti-Semites or terrorists.
Despite this, Qatar will continue to pursue diplomacy and support the recognition of Palestine as a state.
Context of the conflict
The conflict in Gaza began to be discussed after a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 251 hostages.
Since then, the war has caused many deaths and destruction, with casualty figures in Gaza reported by the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
These Muslim leaders expressed different views, but all called for action to resolve the conflict, whether through harsh criticism of Israel or proposals for peace and mutual recognition.
