OIC Condemns Israeli Occupation's Approval of a Plan to Build New Settlement Units

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the bidding by the Israeli occupation authorities for the construction of more than a thousand new settlement units in the occupied Palestinian territory, including the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, stressing that the colonial settlement policy is illegal and constitutes a gross violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, especially the Security Council resolution No. (2334).

The OIC also renewed its strong rejection and condemnation of the Israeli Knesset's decision to cancel the "disengagement law" and legitimize colonial settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory.

At the same time, the OIC called on the international actors to shoulder their responsibilities in enforcing the resolutions of international legitimacy, and to exercise pressure on Israel, the occupying power, to stop its aggressions and its continuous violations against the Palestinian people, its land and sanctities.
