MWL Condemns Israeli Decision on Land Registration Measures in Occupied West Bank

The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned the decision issued by the Israeli occupation government regarding land registration measures in the occupied West Bank and the conversion of large areas into what is referred to as “state land” under the authority of the occupation, SPA reported.

In a statement, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa renewed the call on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities to put an end to these violations and to take a serious stance in enforcing resolutions and appeals of international legitimacy, including those of the UN Security Council and the New York

Declaration on the two-state solution, endorsed by a United Nations General Assembly resolution, regarding the Palestinian people’s established historic right to self-determination and the establishment of their state.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed on Monday the Kingdom’s condemnation of an Israeli decision to register land in the occupied West Bank.

A ministry statement described the move as part of plans aimed at imposing a new legal and administrative reality in the West Bank, undermining ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.

The statement stressed that “Israel has no sovereignty over occupied Palestinian territories, reiterating its absolute rejection of these illegal measures, which constitute a grave violation of international law, undermine the two-state solution, and represent an assault on the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent and sovereign state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

Palestinians see the West Bank as foundational to any future Palestinian state.
