Mahmoud al-Habbash, advisor to the Palestinian Authority president and Chief Justice, has engaged in international diplomatic and religious efforts to support the Palestinian cause.

In early September, al-Habbash addressed security concerns in the Gaza Strip, noting that the presence of various militias is a consequence of instability and that order requires a unified law. During this period, he met with Egypt’s Grand Mufti in Cairo to discuss strengthening religious discourse and coordinating between Palestinian and Egyptian religious leadership to defend Palestinian rights.

By late September, al-Habbash traveled to Jakarta to meet with Indonesian religious and humanitarian organizations, including the Nahdlatul Ulama association. These discussions focused on securing support for the Palestinian people, protecting holy sites such as the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and expanding relief efforts for those in Gaza and the West Bank.
