OIC CONDEMNS SETTLEMENT IN JERUSALEM AND CALLS ON SECURITY COUNCIL TO INTERVENE

Date: 18/12/2012

The Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, has strongly condemned the approval of the Israeli occupation authorities to build 1500 new settlement units in occupied East Jerusalem. He stressed that the policy of illegal Israeli expansion was a defiance of the will of the international community and flagrant violation of the rights of the Palestinian people. The Secretary General added that the continued construction and expansion of settlements on the territory of the Palestinian state was a violation of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy. He added that this required the Security Council to take firm and practical decisions to stop successive infractions and attacks against the Palestinian people and the territories of the State of Palestine.
