OIC Condemns Continued Israeli Aggression on Palestine, Lebanon

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the ongoing and escalating Israeli military aggression on Lebanon, which has resulted in hundreds of martyrs and injured individuals and displaced nearly one million people.
The OIC held the Israeli occupation responsible for this dangerous escalation, which threatens the security and stability of the entire region, SPA reported.

It also called for increased solidarity with Lebanon and urged for the provision of urgent relief aid to enable the Lebanese government to respond to the displacement crisis caused by the brutal Israeli aggression.
The OIC also strongly condemned the continuing war crimes being committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, including the latest massacres in the Nuseirat refugee camp and the city of Khan Yunis, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of innocent civilians.

The organization considered these actions part of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, which necessitates accountability and prosecution under international criminal law.
The OIC renewed its call on the United Nations Security Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, enforce its resolutions, impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, and put an end to Israel's continued violations of international law.

Yemeni Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak held on Wednesday two meetings in Riyadh: the first, with the new commander of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, revolved around military affairs, while the second focused on humanitarian efforts and priorities with the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center.

According to official Saudi sources, the Yemeni premier met with Lt. Gen. Fahd Al-Salman, Commander of the Joint Forces, with whom he discussed the ongoing coordination and continued support from the coalition countries, led by Saudi Arabia, to achieve security and stability for the Yemeni people and support the legitimate government.

Separately, a meeting was held at the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center to review joint coordination in implementing programs and plans.

Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, Advisor to the Saudi Royal Court and General Supervisor of the center, emphasized the center's commitment to alleviating the suffering of the needy, displaced, and affected populations in Yemen, stressing that these efforts reflect Saudi Arabia's noble humanitarian mission, led by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince.

Bin Mubarak was also briefed on the total humanitarian aid provided by Saudi Arabia from 1996 to 2024, which has been extended to 171 countries at a value of over $132 billion, with $27 billion specifically allocated to Yemen. In 2014, Saudi Arabia’s official development aid amounted to 1.9% of its GDP, far exceeding the UN's target of 0.7%.

The meeting also highlighted the center’s efforts, which include 3,068 projects across 102 countries, valued at over $7 billion. Of these, 976 humanitarian projects were designated for Yemen, valued at over $4 billion, covering various key sectors. This includes 479 projects for women and 478 for children.
