The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the dangerous racist statement made by the extremist Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, in which he called for the “obliteration of a Palestinian village from the map.” The OIC believes that this racist statement is a direct invitation to continued violence and an incitement to the killing and terrorization by gangs of extremist settlers against the Palestinian people and their property.
The OIC also strongly condemned the preliminary passage of the bill on execution of Palestinian prisoners, noting that these invalid racist Israeli laws violate the principles and rules of international humanitarian law, the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War and relevant United Nations resolutions. It called on the international community to assume its responsibilities in putting an end to these Israeli violations and providing international protection for the Palestinian people.
