Jeddah – Saba:
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has condemned the Zionist enemy's decision to fully reoccupy the Gaza Strip as a dangerous escalation in the ongoing series of genocide crimes, destruction, starvation, displacement, and the Israeli blockade on Gaza.
In a statement issued on Friday, the OIC emphasized that these crimes represent a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a blatant challenge to relevant United Nations resolutions, as well as the legal rulings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including the provisional measures ordered by the court.
The OIC held the Zionist enemy, the occupying force, fully responsible for the consequences of these crimes, which exacerbate the unprecedented humanitarian suffering in the Gaza Strip.
The organization also strongly denounced the dangerous escalation in crimes committed by extremist settler groups under the protection of Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, including continued settlement expansion, land seizures, home demolitions, repeated attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites, and the ongoing withholding of Palestinian tax revenues. It described these actions as egregious violations of international law and the decisions of the international community.
The OIC called on the UN Security Council to take immediate and decisive action to fulfill its responsibilities by enforcing a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire, ensuring the unhindered delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid and basic necessities to all parts of Gaza, providing effective international protection for the Palestinian people, and taking the necessary measures to end the occupation and enable Palestinians to establish their independent and sovereign state on the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, with Quds as its capital.
