OIC Condemns Israeli Settlement Plans in Occupied Al-Quds

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the Israeli authorities’ ratification of a settlement road-building project in the occupied Al-Quds to reinforce the link between Israeli settlements, in blatant violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

The OIC warned against the danger of this step in the plan to annex the Maale Adumim settlement to the occupied Al-Quds and to isolate the latter from its Palestinian environment, thereby undermining the two-state solution.

The OIC also renewed its call on the international community, especially the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities towards compelling Israel, the occupying power, to stop its pursuit of settlement, annexation, forced displacement, and genocide policies against the Palestinian people, and to activate accountability mechanism, including the imposition of international sanctions on the State of Israel for its repeated violation of international law.
