Having considered with satisfaction the Report of the
Secretary General on the Palestinian Question and the Arab-Israeli Conflict in
Document No.IS/6-91/QP/D.1.
Proceeding from the principles and objectives of the
Charter of the Organization of the Islamic Conference;
Recalling resolutions of the Islamic Summit and
Foreign Ministers Conferences on the Palestine Question and the Arab-Israeli
Conflict;
Considering that Israel's continued occupation of
Palestinian and Arab territories, its annexation of Al-Quds Al-Sharif and the
Syrian Golan, its denial of the inalienable national and political rights of the
Palestinian people, and its escalation of repressive practices against Arab citizens, constitute a flagrant violation of international legality
and the principles of international
law as well as the U.N. Charter and the relevant U.N. resolutions;
Expressing deep concern at the continuing flow of
hundreds of thousands Soviet and other Jewish immigrants into the occupied
territories and their settlement there, and at Israel's continued expansion and
establishment of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories including
Al-Quds Al-Sharif and the occupied Syrian Golan;
Affirming that the Geneva Convention of 1949
relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War applies to the
Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 including Al-Quds Al-Sharif;
Affirming also that the Israeli expansionist policies,
practices and schemes are aimed not only at the Arab Frontline States, but also
seeks to destabilize the Islamic countries thereby threatening international
peace and security;
Following with satisfaction
the continuation of the popular Intifadha in the occupied
Palestinian territories for the fifth year, aimed at putting an end to Israeli
occupation and restoring the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian
people;

2.

Question and the Arab-Israeli conflict are an indivisible whole in terms of
approach and settlement; the solution cannot be divided or made to cover only

the prime cause of all Muslims and the core of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

resistance mounted by the Palestinian people
under the leadership of the PLO, their sole legitimate representative, to
