The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned on Monday “the continued escalation of war crimes” by Israeli force against Palestinian citizens, particularly in the northern Gaza Strip.
The OIC viewed these actions as part of attempts at forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, and genocide against the Palestinian people.
It held Israel responsible “for the ongoing aggression and organized terrorism practiced against the Palestinian people, which has resulted in the martyrdom of more than 42,654 citizens and the injury of over 100,000 others, mostly women and children. Thousands remain missing under the rubble.”
The OIC called for sanctions on Israel, the occupying power, and for it to be held accountable for all ongoing crimes and violations.
Additionally, it renewed its call on the UN Security Council “to assume its responsibilities, implement its resolutions, impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, and put an end to the ongoing violations of international law and relevant UN resolutions by Israel.”
