GOMBAK, 30 July 2017: IIUM’s student society, “We Unite for Islam” (WUFI), has sent a memorandum to the Ambassador of the United States of America\u00c2\u00a0in Malaysia to express\u00c2\u00a0dissatisfaction towards the United States’ inaction\u00c2\u00a0on the closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli government.<\/p>\n

The memorandum was sent on Thursday (27 July) along side the protest by “Gabungan Mahasiswa Islam Se-Malaysia” (GAMIS).<\/p>\n

The President of WUFI, Yazid Khairul Azman said, \u0153The memorandum condemns US silence on the issue and addresses our concerns towards the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the killing of three Palestinians in the event.\u009d<\/p>\n

Yazid added, \u0153This is a collective move together with all Muslim Students’ Association from universities around Malaysia. We come together as a coalition to protest the act of terror by Zionist Israel.”<\/p>\n

According to Yazid, the US is a close partner of Israel and they have the political will to block and veto all support towards Israel through the United Nations.<\/p>\n

A day after sending the memorandum, rallies of solidarity were held at the Al-Azhar Mosque in the International Islamic University Selangor (KUIS) in support of the well-being of fellow Muslims in Palestine.<\/p>\n

It was\u00c2\u00a0to gain awareness and to give information to the masses, and to call upon everyone to support the movement to free the Al-Aqsa.***<\/p>\n
