The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ closure of Al Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of Al-Khalil (Hebron) to worshippers, in addition to the continued incursions and attacks on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, considering these provocative measures an attack on the sanctity of Islamic holy sites, and stressing the OIC’s rejection of attempts to divide the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque temporally and spatially.
The OIC held the Israeli occupation authorities responsible for the consequences of their continued attacks on the Palestinian people and the ongoing violations of the sanctity of holy sites, calling on the international community to take urgent action to put an end to these serious violations that fuel violence, tension and instability in the region.
