Jeddah, March 26, 2024, The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has expressed its appreciation for the United Nations Security Council's resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, particularly during the sacred month of Ramadan. The OIC views this resolution as a crucial step towards fulfilling the international community's responsibilities in halting the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, which has persisted for six months.
In a statement, the OIC urged for prompt and forceful action to ensure Israel's compliance with the resolution, emphasizing the urgent need for the safe and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to all areas within the Gaza Strip. The organization stressed the importance of upholding humanitarian principles and providing essential assistance to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians affected by the conflict.
Furthermore, the OIC reiterated its longstanding call on the international community to put an end to the various war crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation. These crimes include illegal settlements, widespread destruction of Palestinian property, forced displacement of civilians, and the ongoing genocide faced by the Palestinian people across all occupied Palestinian territories.
The OIC's stance underscores the urgency of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and holding accountable those responsible for violations of international law. The organization's call for immediate implementation of the ceasefire resolution and the provision of humanitarian aid reflects its commitment to promoting peace, stability, and justice in the region.
