According to a report from the International Defense Press, citing the Palestinian Information Center, the Islamic Cooperation Organization announced today that it will pursue all possible political and legal measures to counter the Israeli regime’s policies in the occupied West Bank. This includes referring the matter to the United Nations Security Council, the UN General Assembly, and international courts.
In an extraordinary meeting held at its headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the organization reviewed developments in the Palestinian territories and the annexation plans in the West Bank.The final statement from this meeting condemned recent actions by the occupying regime aimed at imposing a new reality, expanding settlements, enforcing what it calls sovereignty, and deepening policies of Judaization and land confiscation. These actions are deemed null and illegal, representing a clear violation of international law and qualifying as war crimes that threaten regional and international peace and security.
The organization also condemned statements made by the U.S. ambassador in the occupied Palestinian territories and the decision by the U.S. embassy to provide consular services to settlers in the West Bank, viewing it as an encouragement of the illegal sovereignty of the Israeli regime over Palestinian lands.The Islamic Cooperation Organization reiterated the necessity of implementing the U.S. President’s proposed plan to end the Gaza war, establishing a complete and permanent ceasefire, the total withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and facilitating humanitarian aid into the strip.
Furthermore, the statement emphasized support for the Palestinian government in the reconstruction and revitalization of Gaza, highlighting the importance of unifying Palestinian territories, including Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem as a cohesive geographical entity.The organization urged the international community to compel the Israeli regime to end its occupation and to implement a just and comprehensive peace. It stressed that achieving sustainable peace is only possible through the end of the occupation of the territories occupied in 1967 and the implementation of a two-state solution.
