OIC holds virtual emergency meeting on Palestine

SHAFAQNA- The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will hold a virtual open-ended meeting of its Executive Committee at the level of foreign ministers on Sunday to discuss the Israeli aggression in the Palestinian territory, particularly Al-Quds Al-Shareef, and its acts of violence in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

“The OIC will hold, at the request of Saudi Arabia — the chair of the Islamic summit— a virtual emergency ministerial meeting to discuss developments in Palestine,” the second-largest international organization after the UN comprising of 57 member countries, said in a statement, according to AA.

Earlier this week, the OIC condemned Israeli attacks against Palestinians in Al-Quds during this past Islamic Month of Ramadhan, preventing worshippers from getting access to holy sites there, Israeli forces’ storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and eviction of Palestinians from their land.

The grouping also accused Israel of seeking to change the historical and legal status of Al-Quds, warning that this policy would further jeopardise the region and threaten world peace,  Gulf News reported.
