You spoke about the permissibility of making peace with the Jews in the land of Palestine, who are the people of hypocrisy. We ask for clarification on this point?

Question:
In a previous lecture, you spoke about the permissibility of making peace with the Jews in the land of Palestine, who are the people of hypocrisy. We ask Your Eminence to clarify this point, as there is confusion among some of the believers regarding it.

Answer:
The Jews are enemies, and all disbelievers are enemies. The enmity and war between them and the Palestinians have now lasted a long time, more than forty years. The point is that a peace agreement between Muslims and Jews, in a manner that guarantees the Palestinians their land, their safety, and their security, is permissible, if it is not possible to wage war against the Jews. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made peace with disbelievers other than the Jews, and with the disbelievers of Quraysh, who were greater than the Jews. When the need arose for the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, he made peace with them for ten years, during which people would be safe. They were greater than the Jews, and he made a peace with them that was also a source of distress for the Muslims. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) endured it for a great benefit for the Muslims, so that they would connect with the Muslims and so that they would enter the religion of Allah. If the rulers who hold the power to bind and release see that it is in the interest to make peace with the Jews so that Palestine is safe, so that their land is secured for them, and so that they are saved from the evil of the Jews, then I see no obstacle to this, nor anything that prevents this. However, if there is an Islamic national state that is able to kill the Jews or humiliate them and take the jizyah (tax on protected non-Muslims) from them, that is good. But where is that? Yes.
