OIC condemns Israeli Finance Minister statements on sovereignty over West Bank

Amman, Nov. 12 (Petra) — The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the statements of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, in which he affirmed “issuing instructions to work on imposing sovereignty over the West Bank.”

In a statement on Tuesday, the OIC reaffirmed that the existence of the Israeli occupation and its policies based on aggression, settlement, displacement, annexation, destruction, and ethnic cleansing are all illegal and void under international law.

The OIC warned of the danger of the continuous incitement and organized terrorism practiced by the leaders of the Israeli occupation and extremist settlers against the Palestinian people, their land, and their holy sites.
