The Islamic spiritual leaders in Lebanon Sunday called on Palestinian leaders of Hamas, Fatah and other factions in the Gaza Strip to overcome differences and unite ranks to face the Israeli aggression, NBN TV reported.
Sunni Mufti Sheikh Mohamed Rashid Kabani, Shiite head of the higher council Sheikh Abdul Amir Kabalan, and Druze higher spiritual leader Naim Hassan met Sunday afternoon in Beirut to adopt a unified Islamic stand towards the attacks in the Gaza Strip.
A statement read after the meeting called on members of the Arab League, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference to bear their responsibilities and adopt measures to force Israel to cease the aggressions and to protect the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Islamic spiritual leaders also contacted Christian Maronite Patriarch Mar Nasrallah Boutros Sfier and they agreed to hold a Christian-Islamic spiritual summit to adopt a unified stand on the Israeli raids on Gaza.
The besieged Gaza Strip is under intensive Israeli air strikes on Sunday for the second successive day, in which 285 Palestinians have been killed so far in a powerful offensive which the Jewish state said was aimed to halt nearly daily cross-border rocket attacks.
