International Union of Muslim Scholars Urges Armed Jihad Against Israel, Claims Israeli Leaders Want to Conquer Saudi Arabia
(MEMRI) The International Union of Muslim Clerics (IUMS) posted a sermon it advised preachers to deliver on April 5 which calls for armed jihad against Israel. The IUMS claimed Israel presented a threat to Saudi Arabia, accusing Israel's founding leader David Ben-Gurion of saying: "We have conquered Jerusalem and [now] we are on our way to Yathrib [the city of Medina in Saudi Arabia]." It accused former prime minister Gold Meir of saying: "I smell the fragrance of my forefathers in Medina and Hejaz, which is our land, and we will return to it."
