"Israel did not take a right stance regarding this matter. It is not Israel’s policy, official Tel Aviv was tricked," he underlined.

The religious leader also said Muslim states failed to demonstrate solidarity adding even Arab states did not support Lebanon, APA reports.

'Muslims did not react to the invasion of Islamic states. They do not show a serious reaction with regard to the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh problem. We must be prepared for jihad.
