OIC Condemns Israeli Move to Seize Homes and Displace Palestinian Families in Jerusalem

OIC Condemns Israeli Move to Seize Homes and Displace Palestinian Families in Jerusalem

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the Israeli authorities’ decision to seize 15 homes in Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood and forcibly displace Palestinian families from their homes, the Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday.

The OIC warned that these measures constitute an escalation in forced displacement policies aimed at reshaping the city’s Arab identity, undermining Palestinian presence, and altering the city’s demographic composition.

It affirmed that all measures taken by Israeli authorities, including annexation and settlement plans and attempts to impose sovereignty over the West Bank, are null and void and lack legitimacy under international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

The general secretariat reiterated its call on the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to assume its responsibilities and act to halt violations and crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories.
