OIC Welcomes Historic UN Resolution Demanding End to Israeli Occupation

OIC Welcomes Historic UN Resolution Demanding End to Israeli Occupation

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has welcomed the adoption of a historic resolution by the UN General Assembly, affirming the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the illegality of the Israeli occupation. The resolution calls on Israel to end its presence and dismantle its illegal colonial settlements in Palestinian territories within a maximum of 12 months.
The OIC considered this resolution a reflection of the international consensus on the justice of the Palestinian cause and the unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent, sovereign state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, SPA reported.
The OIC urged all nations to fulfill their responsibilities and take individual and collective measures to ensure Israel's compliance with its obligations under international law and relevant international resolutions, including the ICJ's advisory opinion. The organization also called for justice, international protection for the Palestinian people, and an end to the Israeli occupation and colonial settlements.
The OIC reiterated that the Palestinian issue remains a priority on its agenda and political efforts, particularly during the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.

The organization expressed its support for calls to convene an international conference to implement relevant UN resolutions on Palestine and the two-state solution as part of broader global efforts to achieve a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace in the region.

Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah called on Kuwaiti citizens to adhere to the democratic approach and the constitutional references.

"National identity is at the top of our priorities. It belongs to every genuine Kuwaiti keen on his country's progress and the elevation of its status," KUNA quoted the Emir in an address to the nation on the occasion of the last 10 days of Ramadan.

During the speech, the Emir lauded the reactions of the “loyal and faithful” people of Kuwait towards the reform decisions that the government took lately.

"I would like to say that the advocates of division and the instigators of sedition are trying to confuse matters, spread rumors, and distort statements, to divide the ranks and cause discontent," he said.

The Emir emphasized the keenness to balance between firmness in everything that affects national unity and achieving justice in citizenship issues, and that dealing with them is by the law, far from political outbidding and pressures.

"I affirm commitment to reforming, strengthening stability, and upholding the country's supreme interests, continuing to combat corruption and confronting anyone who attempts to tamper with the nation's security and stability," the Emir added.

He also stressed that he follows with great interest the work of the state's agencies, as he directs, monitors, and directs the government to expedite the implementation of all state development projects, especially health, education and housing.

"I am certain, with a reassured soul, an optimistic spirit and great confidence in the authentic Kuwaiti people's ability to overcome challenges," said the Emir.

On the other hand, he affirmed that Kuwait will maintain its diplomatic approach with friendly countries and their common causes, with its firm stances that uphold justice and stand against injustice. The Palestinian cause will remain at the top of its foreign policy priorities, and Kuwait will maintain its principled position in support of the brotherly Palestinian people's right to achieve all their legitimate rights, the Emir added.

He also went on warning of the upcoming challenges, stressing the importance of realizing the magnitude of the responsibility, which requires everyone to adhere to national unity to preserve the security and stability of the homeland.
