Doha, Qatar: Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), H E Hissein Brahim Taha, affirmed that the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar, an active member of both the OIC and the League of Arab States, constitutes a clear escalation by Israeli occupation aimed at expanding the scope of war, undermining regional security and stability, and persisting in violation of international charters, laws, and resolutions.
In his address at the preparatory ministerial meeting for the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit, scheduled to be held tomorrow, Monday, in Doha, OIC Secretary-General reiterated the need to intensify efforts to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for violating Qatar’s sovereignty, committing genocide, settlement expansion, and organized terrorism against the Palestinian people. He further stressed the importance of supporting initiatives to implement the resolutions of UN Security Council and General Assembly regarding ending Israeli aggression, occupation, and settlement activities, and advancing the two-state solution.
OIC Secretary-General also commended the valuable efforts of the Joint Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee.
It is chaired by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, H H Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah Al Saud, and his leadership of the committee’s initiatives aimed at urging key international actors to assume their responsibilities in compelling Israel, as the occupying power, to comply with international law.
