Jeddah, February 27 (QNA) – Foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, meeting in Jeddah, condemned Israel’s recent settlement expansion and what they described as illegal annexation measures in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
In a final statement, ministers rejected steps aimed at altering the status of Palestinian territory and denounced remarks by U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, as well as a U.S. Embassy decision to provide consular services to settlers.
The OIC called for advancing the next phase of President Donald Trump’s plan, securing a permanent Gaza ceasefire, full Israeli withdrawal, and unrestricted humanitarian access.
Ministers reaffirmed support for Palestinian reconstruction and the territorial unity of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
They also voiced concern over rising regional tensions, including threats against Iran, while welcoming renewed diplomacy between Tehran and Washington. (QNA)
