The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has warned of the continued violations by extremist settlers under the Israeli occupation forces’ protection, of the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque by threatening to storm it, perform Talmudic prayers in its courtyards, and raise the flag of the occupying power inside it, considering this a blatant violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions and an infringement on the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The OIC held Israel, the occupying power, fully responsible for the repercussions of the continuation of these violations, which constitute a blatant attack on the feelings of Muslims and would fuel violence and tension and lead to igniting a religious war that threatens international security and stability.

The Organization also called on the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to assume its responsibilities towards obligating Israel, the occupying power, to stop its violations and aggressions against the Palestinian people and their Islamic and Christian lands and holy sites.
