OIC Condemns Ongoing Israeli Massacres and War Crimes in Gaza Strip

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the horrific massacre perpetrated by the Israeli occupation in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens of Palestinians, along with the indiscriminate destruction of residential buildings and vital infrastructure, the Saudi Press Agency said on Saturday.
The OIC denounced the Israeli act as yet another organized state terrorism and genocide that has been ongoing for more than fourteen months against the Palestinian people.
The OIC also welcomed the adoption by the UN General Assembly of a resolution demanding an immediate, permanent, and unconditional ceasefire, as well as the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid into all parts of the Gaza Strip.
It also welcomed another resolution supporting the mandate of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and its vital role in providing basic services to Palestinian refugees.
In this context, the OIC reiterated its call for the international community to uphold its responsibilities and exert pressure on Israel, the “occupation power”, to comply with international law and implement relevant UN resolutions.

The foreign minister of several Arab countries and Slovenia met in Ljubljana on Friday to discuss efforts to boost regional and international security and stability, with focus on the Gaza Strip.

The meeting was attended by Saudi FM Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi, Egyptian FM Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Bahraini FM Abdullatif Al-Zayani, and Qatari FM Sultan Al Muraikhi and Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Tanja Fajon.

The FMs stressed the need to respect and fully implement the Gaza ceasefire agreement. They discussed the need to deliver sufficient and sustainable humanitarian aid to the enclave.

They tackled efforts to ensure the success of the peace plan launched by US President Donald Trump, and progress towards the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the two-state solution.

The ministers discussed the situation in the occupied West Bank, stressing the need to halt illegal unilateral Israeli measures there and Israeli violations against Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem, which are deepening tensions and undermining all de-escalation efforts.

The ministers commended Slovenia's support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and its recognition of the State of Palestine based on the two-state solution.

The talks also addressed developments in the region, ways to reduce tensions through negotiation and dialogue, and efforts to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.
