On April 16, 2025, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Grand Mufti of Libya, Sheikh Sadiq Al-Ghariani, condemned Arab countries like Egypt, Morocco, and the UAE for welcoming Israeli soldiers on leave for Passover as tourists, in a video posted on X. In the video, Al-Ghariani called on Muslims in Egypt and Morocco to kill Israeli soldiers vacationing in these countries during the holiday. He claimed that Israeli soldiers are “blood-shedding murderers” and not civilian tourists.
Sadiq Al-Ghariani: “Unfortunately, Arab and Islamic countries, like Egypt, Morocco, and UAE, welcome Zionist tourists, whose hands are soiled with blood.

Al-Ghariani: “They are on leave [from the army] these days, during the Passover holiday, and crossed from Eilat to Egypt, through the Taba Border Crossing. They entered Egypt safely. They were welcomed in luxury hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh and elsewhere in Sinai. Similarly, tens of thousands were welcomed in Morocco, even though they are Zionist soldiers whose hands are soiled with their brothers’ blood. The Egyptians have a duty to kill them. The Moroccans have a duty to kill them. This is their duty because these are blood-shedding murderers, not civilian tourists.”
