Saudi Arabia – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation condemned “the escalation in the pace of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and its expansion to Rafah,” considering it “a continued perpetration of the crime of genocide against the Palestinians.”
In a statement, it condemned “the threats made by the Israeli Prime Minister and his intention to continue and expand the crime of Israeli military aggression against the city of Rafah, whether with or without concluding a ceasefire agreement.” “This confirms his rejection of all UN resolutions and efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire.”
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation said that it “strongly condemns the escalation of the criminal aggression launched by the Israeli occupation forces against the Gaza Strip, and the expansion of its scope through the invasion of the city of Rafah, which is inhabited by about 1.3 million displaced Palestinians, usually in furtherance of committing the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people in The Gaza Strip, and the attempt to displace them from their land, in flagrant violation of all international resolutions and precautionary measures approved by the International Court of Justice.”
It warned of “the danger of the Israeli occupation forces invading the Palestinian city of Rafah, which threatens a humanitarian catastrophe and may lead to expanding the scope of tension and destabilization in the region.”
The organization renewed its call on the international community to assume its responsibilities towards obligating Israel (the occupying power) to stop its military aggression and its continuing crimes throughout the occupied Palestinian territory, and to provide international protection for the Palestinian people, in implementation of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
