Jeddah: The foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Monday passed a resolution affirming that a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace can only be achieved through the implementation of the two-state solution.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the resolution was adopted during the 21st extraordinary session held at the OIC headquarters in Jeddah, prompted by requests from Palestine, Trkiye, and Iran. The foreign ministers expressed strong rejection of Israel's plans to impose full occupation and military control over the Gaza Strip, condemning these plans and any schemes aimed at forcibly displacing the Palestinian people.
The ministers described Israel's announcement as a dangerous escalation and an attempt to reinforce illegal occupation, warning that such actions threaten regional and international peace and security. They held Israel responsible for acts of genocide and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, demanding that Israel open all crossings to allow the entry of humanitarian aid, in compliance with international law.
The OIC ministers emphasized the importance of international community involvement in addressing the famine in Gaza, holding Israel accountable for the situation. They called for urgent international action to ensure the flow of aid to Gaza and suggested referring Israeli actions to the International Criminal Court.
The ministers further stressed the importance of the Palestinian government assuming full responsibility for governance and security and called for support from OIC member states and the international community. They advocated for the activation of the Islamic Financial Safety Net to assist the Palestinian government and urged pressure on Israel to release withheld Palestinian tax revenues.
They affirmed that peace can only be achieved through the two-state solution, requiring the end of Israeli occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders with East Al-Quds as its capital. They valued the recognition of the State of Palestine by various countries and urged others to follow suit and support Palestine's full UN membership to protect the two-state solution and promote peace in the region.
