Jeddah (UNA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has condemned and denounced the statements of US President Donald Trump regarding his call to displace the Palestinian people outside the Gaza Strip, his support for the alleged Israeli sovereignty over Palestinian land, and the suspension of funding for UNRWA, considering that this contributes to the consolidation of occupation, colonial settlement, and the forcible seizure of Palestinian land, which constitutes a flagrant violation of the principles of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, including Security Council Resolution 2334, and is likely to undermine the chances of peace and destabilize the region.
The organization also expressed its absolute rejection of any plans aimed at changing the geographical, demographic or legal reality of the occupied Palestinian territory, stressing that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the occupied State of Palestine, and calling for concerted efforts to establish a comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of the Israeli occupation, strengthening the steadfastness of the Palestinians in their land and their safe return to their homes, providing urgent relief, economic recovery and reconstruction for the Gaza Strip, and ensuring accountability for all crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.
The organization, on the other hand, renewed its steadfast support for UNRWA and its pivotal and irreplaceable role, expressing its absolute rejection of any attempts to undermine its existence or legal mandate, considering it a top humanitarian and relief priority, a witness to the international commitment to the rights of Palestinian refugees and an element of stability in the region.
The Organization also affirmed its absolute solidarity with the Palestinian people and its steadfast support for their just struggle within the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, to restore their inalienable rights, including their right to self-determination and the embodiment of the sovereignty of the independent State of Palestine on the borders of June 1967, XNUMX, including the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem as its capital, renewing its commitment to support international efforts aimed at achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the region, leading to an end to the Israeli occupation and the implementation of the two-state solution based on the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter and its relevant resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
