The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the incursion into the Holy Mosque of Al-Aqsa perpetrated by hordes of extremist settlers with the participation of the minister of agriculture and under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, an aggression which the OIC considered as an extension of the recurrent Israeli violations against the sanctity of the holy sites and a glaring infraction against the Geneva Accord and international law.

The OIC placed all responsibility on the Israeli occupation government for any repercussions of such continued systematic aggressions, which represent a provocation against the sentiments of the entire Muslim community worldwide. At the same time, the OIC called on the international community, and more particularly on the UN Security Council, to shoulder their responsibility and put an end to these repetitive serious aggressions against the Islamo-Christian sanctuaries in the occupied Holy City of Al-Quds/Jerusalem.
