OIC foreign ministers condemn Israeli attacks on Palestinians

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) foreign ministers have strongly condemned Israeli attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank during a meeting of foreign ministers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The session reaffirmed the centrality of the Palestinian cause and Jerusalem to the Muslim world, and reiterated support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, independence, and freedom, as well as the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital.

The council also rejected Israeli settlement expansion and attempts to impose new political, security, or administrative realities on the occupied Palestinian territory.
