JEDDAH, The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the plans of Israel, the occupying power, to build 4000 new settlement units on the occupied Palestinian land, and to evacuate and demolish 12 Palestinian villages in the Yatta area, south of Khalil Province.

It stressed that the Israeli colonial settlement policy represented a blatant aggression against the rights of the Palestinian people, and a flagrant violation of the International law and relevant UN resolutions, particularly UNSC Resolution 2334 of December 23, 2016.

The OIC also called on the international community, especially the UNSC, to assume its responsibilities and implement its resolutions, stop all settlement activities in all the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Al-Quds, and compel Israel, the occupying power, to stop its continued violations of international law and resolutions and to ensure accountability for its continued crimes and aggressions against the Palestinian people and their sanctities.
