Yusuf al-Qaradawi, president of the International Union for Muslim Scholars, said a conference will be held next Sunday to discuss issues pertaining to Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque and will be attended by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
He wrote on his official website that the conference comes within efforts by civil society organizations and Arab and Islamic countries against repeated "Zionist" abuses of Islamic holy sites, attempts of Judaization and normalization processes with Israel.
Sources said Muslim Brotherhood members from Egypt, Libya, Jordan, Yemen and Kuwait, as well as leaders of Hamas, will discuss ways to thwart the presidential elections in Egypt.
The sources also said Qatar assured the Brotherhood leaders that they can stay in Doha, adding that the Qatari government would ease the media discourse of the Muslim Brotherhood through the Al Jazeera channel, support the Brotherhood’s Al-Sharq channel in Turkey and launch a new channel in Lebanon or Tunisia to defend the Brotherhood so as to approach the Gulf states that pressure it to expel the group leaders.
Amr Abdel Hady, spokesperson for the pro-Morsy Al-Damir Front, said a delegation of the front visited Qaradawi in Qatar for that purpose.
Mohamed Sweidan of the Freedom and Justice Party said Brotherhood leaders can stay anywhere as long as they abide by the law. “Egypt wanted the other countries to renounce the Brotherhood but failed to do so,” he said.
