Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hissein Brahim Taha emphasized the importance of the International Alliance to Implement the Two-State Solution.

The alliance was announced by Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah during a high-level meeting held on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York.

In a statement on Sunday, Taha urged all countries to join this historic political initiative, highlighting its role as a political network working for the two-state solution in accordance with international law, the UN Charter and resolutions.

The alliance, he said, reflects a dedication to backing endeavors aimed at ending the Israeli occupation, establishing the Palestinian State, and realizing a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the region.

He urged countries that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to promptly join the 149 countries that have done so, and to endorse its right to full UN membership.

This will strengthen Palestine's legitimacy and political status, and advance the rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and to establish their independent state based on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, he stressed.
