Khaled El-Gendy Warns Attacks on Prominent Figures Systematically Target Societies

Sheikh Khaled El-Gendy, a member of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, has warned that attempts to discredit prominent figures are being used to systematically target states and societies.

El-Gendy described the phenomenon as one of the tools of modern warfare, framing it as a threat that extends beyond the individuals whose standing comes under attack.

His warning focused on what he characterised as the organised nature of such campaigns, rather than isolated criticism of public figures.

The brief statement did not identify particular figures or campaigns, but presented the issue as a broader danger to countries and their communities.
