New Delhi: The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM), a confederation of leading Muslim organizations in India, welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire between the United States, Israel, and the Islamic Republic of Iran. We believe that this cessation of hostilities is a positive and necessary step toward preventing further escalation and devastation in the region, particularly in West Asia. AIMMM President, Mr. Feroz Ahmad aided that the attacks on Iran are an unwarranted aggression on a sovereign country and a violation of international laws. President Trump’s attacks and aggression have posed serious threats to the world order and peace in the region.
However, the AIMMM expresses its deep anguish and unequivocal condemnation of the continued destruction, loss of civilian lives, and massive humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza. The indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas, targeting of hospitals, schools, journalists, and aid workers constitutes a grave violation of international law, amounting to war crimes.
We are gravely concerned by the continued complicity and silence of powerful global actors, particularly the United States, whose unwavering support for Israel has emboldened its violations of human rights and international norms. The systematic and prolonged suffering inflicted upon the Palestinian people, including collective punishment, siege, displacement, and denial of basic human rights, demands urgent global attention and accountability.
The AIMMM calls upon the international community, including the United Nations and global civil society, to:
- Ensure a permanent ceasefire and protection of civilians in all conflict zones, particularly Gaza.
- Hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable through international legal mechanisms.
- Address the root cause of the conflict — the illegal occupation and apartheid-like policies of Israel against the Palestinian people.
- Demand an end to the blockade of Gaza and ensure unhindered humanitarian access.
- Revive genuine efforts towards a just and lasting peace, grounded in international law and the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.
The AIMMM reiterates its solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and stands with all peace-loving voices across the world who are striving for justice, human dignity, and a world free from occupation and war.
