The Organization of Islamic Cooperation condemned the assault against the Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremist settler groups and the Israeli occupation forces, stressing that these repeated attacks on the sanctity of the holy sites are part of the attempts of Israel, the occupying power, to alter the historical and legal status quo in Al-Quds, in violation of the international law, the Geneva Conventions and UN resolutions.

The OIC held the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for the consequences of the continuation of such systematic attacks. At the same time, it called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to shoulder its responsibilities to put an end to these violations and to launch a political process to achieve a peaceful solution and the establishment of an independent state of Palestine with Al-Quds as its capital, based on the relevant UN Resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
