The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) issued a vigorous condemnation of the aggression perpetrated by Israel, the occupation force, against the religious emblematic figures in the City of AlQuds (Jerusalem) and its detention and forced removal of His Eminence Sheikh Abdel Azim Selheb, chairman of the Council of AlQuds Endowments and his deputy, Sheikh Najeh Bekeyret, and a large number of Palestinian activists from the occupied city of AlQuds. The organization described the Israel’s action as a fresh aggressive act of judeization policies aimed at the occupied Holy City and at terrorizing the city’s steadfast inhabitants.
The OIC held Israel, the occupation force, responsible for any repercussions following its continued violation of the holy sites and its aggressions against the rights of the Palestinian people. The OIC also warned against the Israeli occupant’s attempts to impose a new fait-accompli within the premises of the Holy Shrine of AlQuds, and called on the international community to take immediate action to compel Israel to put an end to its recurrent and blatantly abusive aggressions on the Islamo-Christian sacred sites in the City of AlQuds (Jerusalem).
