JEDDAH: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the ongoing and escalating Israeli military aggression on Lebanon, which has killed and injured hundreds of individuals and displaced nearly one million people.
The OIC in a statement on Thursday held the Israeli occupation responsible for this dangerous escalation, which threatens the stability and security of the entire region. It also expressed solidarity with Lebanon and urged for the provision of urgent relief assistance to enable the Lebanese government to respond to the displacement crisis caused by Israel’s brutal aggression.
The OIC also strongly denounced the continuing war crimes being committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, including the latest massacres in the Nuseirat refugee camp and the city of Khan Yunis, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of innocent civilians.

The organization considered these actions part of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, which necessitates accountability and prosecution under international criminal law.
The OIC renewed its call on the United Nations Security Council to fulfil its responsibilities in maintaining global peace and security, enforce its resolutions, impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, and put an end to Israel’s continued violations of international law.
