Jeddah (UNA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned in the strongest terms the unacceptable and irresponsible statements of the Israeli Prime Minister in which he called for “the establishment of a Palestinian state on Saudi territory,” considering this an incitement against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and an attack on its sovereignty, national security and territorial integrity, in a flagrant violation of the principles of international law and the United Nations Charter.
The organization also stressed that these racist statements come within the framework of the continued denial of the occupying power, Israel, of the historical, political and legal rights of the authentic Palestinian people in their homeland, and a desperate Israeli attempt to circumvent the national rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to return, self-determination and the establishment of their independent state on their national soil.
The organization also renewed its rejection and condemnation of the plans and attempts to displace the Palestinian people from their land, considering this ethnic cleansing, a crime, and a flagrant violation of international law.
At the same time, the organization renewed its call on the international community to redouble efforts to end the illegal Israeli colonial occupation and settlement in the Palestinian territories, and to embody the sovereignty of the State of Palestine over the territories occupied since 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital.
The organization also appreciated the firm historical positions and tireless efforts made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in providing all forms of support to the Palestinian people and their just cause, and mobilizing international efforts to implement the two-state solution based on the relevant United Nations resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
