Washington Appreciates MWL Stance Rejecting Holocaust Denial

US Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt welcomes MWL Chief Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa to the White House, Asharq Al-Awsat

Muslim World League Chief Dr. Mohammed Abdulkarim al-Issa held a meeting with US Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt at the White House in Washington on Tuesday, where the two discussed current Middle East developments.

A joint media statement issued at the end of the meeting that Greenblatt stressed the US administration adopting Issa’s earlier position on the Holocaust being an accident which shook humanity to its core, registering historic horrors and atrocities or that in no way can be denied.

The two sides reiterated principles previously relayed by Issa in his letter to the American Holocaust Memorial Museum in January 2018.

In his letter, on behalf of the MWL, Issa doubted the mental capacity of those who are able to accept, sympathize or even reduce the extent of this brutal crime.

Issa and Greenblatt shared the importance of opposing or condemning Holocaust deniers.
