A Saudi cleric called in a religious edict on Sunday for attacks on Israeli interests everywhere in retaliation for the ongoing Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip as Iran's supreme leader urged Muslim states to punish Israel and deplored what he called some Arab leaders' silence.| "The recent visit by Livni to Egypt, and her embrace by Egyptian officials in front of cameras, followed by her confirmation that the situation in Gaza is going to change, and the lack of any response from Egyptian officials, are part of the conspiracy" Qarni |
Qarni, who has no links to the official Islamic body of Saudi Arabia, said: "They (Israelis) should become targets. Their blood should be shed as the blood of our brothers in Palestine has been shed."
"They should feel pain more than our brothers," the cleric added.
"This is a fatwa that I am responsible for in front of Allah," Qarni said on the Islam Online website.
He also lashed out at Arab governments, mainly Egypt, which he accused of being "part of the conspiracy".
"The recent visit by (Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi) Livni to Egypt, and her embrace by Egyptian officials in front of cameras, followed by her confirmation that the situation in Gaza is going to change, and the lack of any response from Egyptian officials, are part of the conspiracy," he said.
He slammed Egypt's security reinforcements on the borders with Gaza "to ban Palestinians from breaking through the borders," saying it is "a proof of a conspiracy."
