Khamenei urges Muslim states to cut ties with Israel for at least a 'limited time'

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has urged Muslim states to "at least cut off political ties with Israel for a limited period of time", the Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.

Earlier this month, Khamenei called on Muslim-majority countries to block oil and food exports to Israel. 

During a joint summit between members of the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League in Saudi on 11 November, Muslim-majority states did not agree to impose sanctions on Israel as requested by Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi.
