JEDDAH: The General Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed its condemnation of the dangerous and irresponsible statements made by the US Ambassador to Israel, describing them as an unacceptable call for Israel to expand and seize more Palestinian and Arab lands.
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported the OIC General Secretariat saying that such remarks are based on false and rejected historical and ideological claims that violate the sovereignty of states, diplomatic norms, principles of international law, United Nations (UN) resolutions, and the UN Charter.
It also warned that this extremist ideological discourse is liable to fuel extremism and encourage the Israeli occupation to persist in its unlawful practices of displacement, settlement, annexation, and attempts to impose sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory - actions that threaten security and stability throughout the entire region.
Additionally, the OIC General Secretariat reaffirmed its firm and absolute support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them their right to self-determination and to establish their independent, sovereign state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital. — Bernama-SPA
