JEDDAH: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the organized terrorism and the daily crimes committed by extremist settler gangs, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, the latest of which was their recent horrific attack on the village of Jit, east of Qalqilya, by indiscriminately shooting civilians, damaging their property and burning their homes, vehicles and agricultural lands, which led to the martyrdom and injury of dozens of them.
The OIC considered this as an extension of the open Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, their land and sanctities in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. It held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the consequences of the continuation of these sinful crimes.
The OIC also called on the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to shoulder its responsibilities towards the need to provide international protection for the Palestinian people, and to ensure an immediate and comprehensive cessation of this ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif.
Furthermore, the OIC renewed its call on the international community to compel Israel, the occupying power, to dismantle all colonial settlements and its terrorist militias in the occupied Palestinian territory, lift political, criminalize their acts from them, classify them as terrorist organizations, and end the illegal colonial occupation of the land of the State of Palestine
