The founders also exploited the occasion to hail the Palestinian people in the occupied homeland and in diaspora and to commend the “heroic” Palestinian resistance urging it to remain steadfast on the national constants and legal rights of the Palestinian people.
They also took the opportunity to salute the people of the Gaza Strip for their sacrifices urging the entire Arab and Muslim Ummah to double their support to the Palestinian resistance and to the Palestinian people particularly in Gaza Strip who had been under crippling economic siege for three years.
They also warned of the heated Israeli efforts to judaize the Aqsa Mosque and to distort Muslim and Christian landmarks in the occupied city of Jerusalem calling on Muslims to immediately mobilize in defense of the holy mosque.
Moreover the scholars invited leaders of the Palestinian people to burry the hatchet and to restore unity of the Palestinian people on national basis.

The scholars hailed Palestinian captives in Israeli jails and urged all concerned parties not to relax efforts for their immediate release and return to their families.
Finally the founders invited all Palestinian scholars in diaspora to join the new body based on its published conditions and regulations.
