The policy has sparked significant protests inside Azerbaijan.

“They call us terrorists? Look at these children. They bombed them and killed them. They had committed no crime. They were innocent.” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the United States and Israel at the UN General Assembly today, accusing them of killing innocent Iranian children and being the real terrorists. Holding up images of children who had been killed in US-Israeli attacks, Pezeshkian condemned the bombing of schools, sports facilities, hospitals and civilian infrastructure. “Those who are terrorists and train terrorists tell us that we are terrorists. We are only defending ourselves. We are not terrorists.” Pezeshkian insisted that Iran would not bow to foreign aggression, declaring that a nation unable to defend itself would be crushed.

Islamophobic activist Kellie-Jay Keen was filmed at Speakers' Corner blocking Muslims from praying. She could be heard ranting that prayer is an "act of domination" and is against British values. Muslims are required to pray five times a day. The worshippers were clearly not disturbing or blocking anyone, instead praying quietly in a public space.

🇦🇿 AZERBAIJAN: 37 ARRESTED AS ANGER GROWS OVER SCHOOL HIJAB RESTRICTIONS “The headscarf violates the school uniform.” A school official in Azerbaijan was confronted over Muslim girls being prevented from attending classes because they wear the hijab. In the video, the woman cites a decision by the country's Cabinet of Ministers to justify the school's dress code, while the parent filming challenges her over the exclusion of headscarf-wearing pupils. The confrontation comes amid growing unrest over new school uniform regulations that effectively prohibit pupils and teachers from wearing the hijab in state schools. Azerbaijan's Interior Ministry has confirmed that 37 people have been detained following protests against the restrictions. Authorities accuse demonstrators of disrupting public order and clashing with school staff, while reports have also emerged of arson attacks targeting school property. Students have boycotted classes in solidarity with affected teachers and pupils, while some social media users have reported difficulties accessing platforms including Instagram and TikTok. The government insists the regulations are necessary to preserve the secular character of education and ensure uniformity in schools. However, critics say the restrictions violate religious freedom and effectively force Muslim girls to choose between observing their faith and receiving an education. Azerbaijan is a Muslim-majority country governed by a strongly secular state.

Britain has declared Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory unlawful and announced sanctions targeting illegal settlements — but Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband refused to recognise Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide while reaffirming his "unwavering" support for the Israeli state. Miliband announced a ban on imports from illegal settlements, sanctions against those facilitating settlement expansion, and new restrictions on arms exports connected to the occupation. He also accused Israeli settlers of carrying out "ethnic cleansing" in parts of the occupied West Bank. However, he repeatedly stressed the measures target Israel's occupation — not Israel itself — explicitly rejected the BDS movement, and stopped short of accusing Israel of genocide despite acknowledging mounting evidence of Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

A viral clip of an Israeli influencer attempting to enter Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina has sparked outrage online. Footage filmed by Adam Jano shows him walking around the holy site while filming Muslims before he was stopped by security. He hid his Israeli passport in an inner compartment, avoiding getting into any real trouble. According to an article in Israeli media, Jano revealed that he visited other sites in Saudi and also wore Jewish religious items and prayed near a rock some believe is connected to Prophet Moses (a.s). Generally, Israeli passport holders are not ordinarily permitted to visit Saudi as tourists. Saudi Arabia has not normalised diplomatic relations with Israel, and Israeli passport holders are not included on the official list of nationalities eligible for the standard Saudi tourist e-visa.

🇦🇿 “The state will prevent every attempt to introduce Arab-Persian values into our national identity.” An Azerbaijani state TV presenter has issued a stark warning to Muslims defending the right to wear the hijab in schools, insisting that pupils and teachers must obey the country's dress code. In a stern broadcast, he declared that Azerbaijan would not allow "foreign religious influences" to undermine its national identity or shape the minds of schoolchildren. He also accused unnamed foreign forces of trying to destabilise Azerbaijan and turn it "into a country like other Muslim nations." The remarks come amid controversy in predominantly Muslim but officially secular Azerbaijan over restrictions on the hijab in schools. Muslim teachers and schoolgirls have spoken out against the restrictions, arguing that nobody should be forced to choose between their faith and their right to education.
