The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) will host the 2024 International Symposium on the Question of Al-Quds.

The theme of the symposium is “Al-Quds and the Gaza War: Palestinian Identity and Existence Under Threat of Erasure.” The symposium will take place on Monday at the OIC's headquarters in Jeddah, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.

The symposium aims to shed light on the Israel’s policies of forced displacement and confiscation of Palestinian property in Jerusalem through the intensification of Judaization. These actions will be placed in the broader context of similar illegal activities occurring in other parts of the occupied Palestinian territory.

Special focus will be given to the ongoing Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, the mass forced displacement of the Palestinian civilian population, and other violations of international law, including international humanitarian and human rights law.

The symposium will also show joint support for international efforts to halt the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and initiate an irreversible political process to end the Israeli occupation.

The goal is to achieve a just, comprehensive, lasting peace based on international law and relevant UN resolutions. This includes advocating for the independence of the State of Palestine on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The program of the 2024 International Symposium on the Question of Al-Quds includes an opening session featuring speeches from the OIC Secretary-General, representatives of Saudi Arabia, the State of Palestine, the United Nations, and the Chairman of CEIRPP.

There will be a panel discussion titled "Al-Quds in the Shadow of the War on Gaza: Challenges to Peace and Security in the Region and Beyond," which will include the participation of four experts from Jerusalem.
