He said in a press statement issued on Monday that the silence of America and UNO on large-scale genocide of Muslims was a clear proof of the fact that Israel was trying to wipe out Muslims from the face of the earth with their tacit approval.

He called upon Muslim nations to wake up and evolve a joint strategy to protect the Muslim world.
