News – Middle East – Saudi Arabia: The Ministry of Guidance, Hajj and Umrah Affairs, Sunday, condemned the Saudi regime's ban on the sacred pilgrimage for the second year in a row, and its continuous blocking of the Grand Mosque.

In a statement, the Ministry of Guidance considered the Saudi regime's decision a systematic step in the context of the overt role it plays in serving the American-Zionist project.

It pointed out that the Saudi system, instead of preventing the Hajj, would have made the correct and proper arrangements, procedures and treatments. It emphasized that the beneficiary of the Hajj ban are the enemies of Islam, led by America and Israel. 

"These enemies see the Hajj as a grave danger to them, it is an international Islamic conference that strengthens the unity of the Islamic nation."

The Ministry of Guidance stressed that the peoples and free people of the Islamic world must condemn and denounce and raise their voices loudly in the face of this Saudi arrogance and silence on this a crime that cannot be passed.

It called on Islamic countries to denounce this step and to work to remove the hand of the Saudi regime from Islamic sanctities and manage the affairs of Hajj and Umrah.
