Organization of Islamic Cooperation Blasts Israel’s Brutal Aggression against Palestinians

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has denounced “in the strongest terms Israel’s brutal aggression” against the Palestinian people as the Tel Aviv regime’s relentless bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip enters its seventh consecutive day.

In a statement issued after an emergency meeting of the organization at the level of foreign ministers on Sunday, the 57-member body called for an immediate halt of the attacks on civilians, saying they were “a violation of the international law and the UN resolutions.”

It also clearly warned of the dangerous effects of Israel’s repeated and deliberate inflammation of religious sensitivities and its provocation of the feelings of the Palestinian people and the Islamic world.

The statement reiterated its rejection of the continued Israeli settlement expansion and the establishment of an apartheid system in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Jerusalem al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque are a red line for the Islamic world, and there will be no security or stability except with their complete liberation from occupation, it stressed.
