Foreign ministers of the member states of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) reaffirmed the centrality of the Palestine cause, with Al-Quds at its core, to the entire Muslim Ummah, and reasserted the Arab and Islamic character of occupied East Al-Quds.
This came in a resolution, adopted by the Open-Ended Extraordinary Meeting of the OIC Executive Committee at the Level of Foreign Ministers to discuss the implications of the US Administration's so-called 'Deal of the Century.'
Peace and security in the Middle East region, as a strategic option, will only be achieved with the end of the Israeli occupation, the full withdrawal from the Palestinian territories, particularly Al-Quds and the other Arab territories occupied since June 1967, and enabling the Palestinian people to regain their inalienable rights.
It regretted the biased approach of the plan that fully adopts the Israeli narrative and endorses the annexation of vast areas of the occupied land of the State of Palestine, under the pretext of security for Israel.
The meeting rejected any plan, deal, or initiative submitted by any party whatsoever, which is inconsistent with the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people as enshrined in agreed international legitimacy resolutions, or not in conformity with internationally recognized terms of reference of the Middle East peace process, foremost of which is international law, UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
It also warned Israel against taking any step or taking any measures to consolidate its colonial occupation in the territory of the State of Palestine, including annexation of any part of the occupied lands.
It voiced its full support for the Palestinian people and its sole and legitimate representative, the Palestine Liberation Organization headed by President Mahmoud Abbas.
