OIC Strongly Condemns Calls to Build Synagogue Inside Al-Aqsa Mosque

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has expressed its strong condemnation of the statements of the extremist Israeli Minister Ben Gvir calling for the establishment of a synagogue inside the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the continued storming and desecration of the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremist settlers and ministers in the Israeli occupation government under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces. The OIC considered this, in a statement Tuesday, an extension of the repeated violations by Israel, the occupying power, of the sanctity of holy places and freedom of worship, and a flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions and international law. The OIC stressed that the city of Jerusalem is an integral part of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, and the capital of the State of Palestine, and that all decisions and measures taken by the Israeli occupation to Judaize the occupied city of Jerusalem have no legal effect and are null and void und er international law and international legitimacy resolutions. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) held the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for the consequences of the continuation of these systematic violations and attacks that constitute a provocation to the feelings of Muslims all over the world and are likely to fuel religious conflict, extremism and instability in the region. The OIC also renewed its call on the active parties of the international community to assume their responsibilities and intervene to put an end to these serious Israeli violations and preserve the historical and legal status of the Islamic and Christian holy sites in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
