The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Iyad Ameen Madani, commended the decision adopted by the European Union to label goods and products made in Israeli settlements that are built on the occupied Palestinian territory. He considered this an important step in line with international resolutions and positions affirming illegality of Israeli settlements. The Secretary General emphasized the need to build on such measures and strengthen them with political decisions and an effective role by the European Union towards compelling Israel to stop all apartheid settlement activities throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, which constitute a major obstacle to achieving peace based on the two-state solution vision.
