Jeddah, 6 June - The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the Israeli occupation forces for its flagrant incursion into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and for allowing extremist settler groups to organize a provocative procession in the old districts of the occupied Al-Quds, as part of illegal and rejected attempts to undermine the existing historical and legal situation in the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Al-Quds, particularly the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The OIC reiterated that Al-Quds Al-Sharif, the capital of the State of Palestine, is an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied in 1967. It also renewed its rejection of measures or decisions aimed at forcing the so-called Israeli sovereignty on the city and its holy sites. The OIC considered such measures illegal and illegitimate under international law and relevant United Nations resolutions. The OIC also called on the international community to assume its responsibility and put pressure on Israel, the occupying power, to stop the violence and organized terrorism perpetrated by the extremist settler groups and Israeli occupation forces throughout the Gaza Strip. – OIC News
