The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation authorities’ approval of annexation and expansion plans via the construction of 764 new settlement units, as well as a plan for 17 new settlements in the occupied West Bank over the next five years, as part of attempts to foist their so-called sovereignty on the occupied Palestinian territory.

The OIC stressed that the Israeli colonial settlement policy constitutes a war crime and flagrant violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, notably Security Council resolution no. 2334 and the legal opinions issued by the International Court of Justice, SPA reported.

The OIC renewed its call on the international community, particularly the Security Council, to assume its responsibility and take immediate measures to end all the crimes and violations being perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people, their territory, and holy sites.
