OIC strongly condemns Zionist settlers’ crimes in West Bank

JEDDAH, Aug. 17 (YPA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned on Friday the organized terrorism and daily crimes committed by gangs of extremist Zionist settlers under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank.

In a statement issued today, the organization denounced “the horrific attack on the village of Jit, east of Qalqilya, the indiscriminate shooting of civilians, the destruction of their property, and the burning of their homes, vehicles, and agricultural land, which led to the martyrdom and injury of dozens of them.”

The statement considered this an extension of the open Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, their land, and their sanctities, holding the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the consequences of the continuation of these crimes.

The organization’s statement also called on the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to assume its responsibilities in providing international protection for the Palestinian people and to ensure an immediate and comprehensive cessation of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including the city of Al-Quds.

The organization urged the international community on obliging Israel, the occupying power, to dismantle all colonial settlements and its terrorist militias in the occupied Palestinian territory and ending the system of illegal colonial occupation of the land of the State of Palestine.
