OIC strongly condemns Israeli military aggression in Gaza Strip

RIYADH: The General Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the continuation of the Israeli military aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has treacherously martyred 25 and wounded 76 Palestinian citizens, in addition to the destruction of several residential buildings.

The OIC considers this barbaric military aggression a heinous crime and a flagrant violation of the international law and international humanitarian law.

The Organization held Israel, the occupying power, fully responsible for the consequences of the continuation and escalation of its aggression and the war crimes it is committing against the Palestinian people, which constitute a threat to security, peace, and stability in the entire region.

It called the International Criminal Court to accelerate its procedures to prosecute those responsible for war crimes.

It also renewed its call on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities and intervene urgently to stop this continuous Israeli aggression, provide international protection to the Palestinian people, and compel Israel to respect its obligations under international law.
