In a powerful joint statement, prominent Islamic scholars, muftis, thinkers, and officials from various Islamic countries have unanimously called for the international trial of U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Citing clear Quranic verses, prophetic traditions, Islamic jurisprudence, and international law, they labeled the two leaders as “warlords and corrupters on earth.”
Key Points of the Declaration:
1. Condemnation of Trump and Netanyahu as Corruptors and War Criminals
Quoting the Quranic verse “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and spread corruption on earth is… death or crucifixion…” (Al-Ma’idah 33), the statement identifies Trump, Netanyahu, and the Zionist regime’s leadership as responsible for occupation, mass killings, and crimes against humanity. The scholars demand their prosecution in both Islamic and international courts.
2. Strong Support for the Leadership of Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei
The declaration emphasizes comprehensive support for the leadership of Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei, describing him as a wise and courageous figure who embodies legitimate Islamic leadership and guides the resistance and dignity of the Muslim world.
3. Rejection of Compromise with Israel and the United States
The signatories assert that any normalization of relations with Israel or alignment with U.S. policies is forbidden (haram) under Islamic law and international justice. Such actions are considered betrayal of the Islamic Ummah and a violation of the rights of the Palestinian people.
4. Urgent Call for Muslim Unity Against Zionist and Imperialist Plots
Scholars stress the urgent need for unity among Muslim nations, intellectuals, and political leaders to form a united front against the conspiracies of Zionism and global arrogance, especially the United States and its allies.
5. Recognition of Iran’s Victory in the 12-Day War with Israel
The statement hails the Islamic Republic of Iran’s recent victory in a 12-day confrontation with the Zionist regime, calling it a strategic and symbolic defeat for U.S.-Israeli dominance. This victory, they claim, highlights the strength of faith, resistance, and wise leadership.
6. Demand for International Tribunals Against Zionist Crimes
The scholars call for the immediate establishment of independent courts to try Trump, Netanyahu, and other Israeli leaders for crimes against humanity and global peace. They urge international human rights bodies to take decisive legal action.
7. Renewed Commitment to the Liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem
Reaffirming the centrality of the Palestinian issue, the statement declares that the struggle for the liberation of Palestine and the defense of Holy Jerusalem will remain a top priority of the Islamic Ummah until the complete removal of the Zionist regime.
