Deputy President of the Higher Islamic Shia Council Sheikh Abdel Amir Qabalan said on Tuesday the fall of Gaza was equivalent to the fall of all Arabs.
During his daily religious lesson at the council's headquarters, Qabalan said he rejected the silence around what was happening in the Gaza Strip.
"We cannot allow the fall of Gaza and continued carnage," he said, adding that "Arab leaders must make concessions to one another and initiate an Arab Summit conference to save Palestine."
