JEDDAH, The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hissein Brahim Taha, made a telephone call to Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Riyad Al-Maliki, during which he discussed the ongoing Israeli attacks against the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque in flagrant violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

The Secretary-General stressed that the OIC stands with the people of Palestine and unequivocally supports their legitimate rights in the city of al-Quds and their sovereignty over it as the capital of the State of Palestine.

For his part, Malki briefed the Secretary-General on the grave situation due to the escalation of violations and daily incursions by extremist settlers, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, targeting the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque and the worshipers inside it, and attempts to impose the temporal and spatial division of al-Aqsa Mosque.

Malki called for an active Islamic movement at all political, diplomatic, and legal levels in order to mobilize the broadest international pressure on Israel, the occupying power, so as to put an end to its attacks on the city of Jerusalem and its holy sites.
