The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) warned on Wednesday of the “serious implications of Israeli measures aimed at altering the political, historical, and legal status of Hebron.”

The latest of these measures is a decision by the Israeli finance minister to revoke the municipality’s authority over the Ibrahimi Mosque, the Old City, and surrounding areas, and to revoke the Hebron Agreement.

“Israel has no sovereignty over the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including the city of Hebron and its holy sites, and all religious, historical, heritage, and cultural sites therein, in accordance with the relevant United Nations and UNESCO resolutions,” stressed the OIC.

It called on the international community “to fulfill its responsibilities towards the preservation and protection of the Ibrahimi Mosque, the Old City of Hebron and its historical landmarks, as they form an integral part of the territory of the State of Palestine.”
