Jeddah: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation will hold an extraordinary meeting of its Council of Foreign Ministers to discuss the continuing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.
The session will be held at the headquarters of the OIC in Jeddah on Tuesday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha is expected to address the opening session, which will be preceded by a preparatory senior officials’ meeting on March 4 to discuss and adopt the draft agenda and work program, and consider the draft resolution before submitting it to the Council of Foreign Ministers the following day.
On Oct. 11, 2023, Saudi Arabia hosted the extraordinary Joint Arab and Islamic Summit in Riyadh, organized by the OIC and the Arab League. The conference adopted several decisions, in particular assigning a committee of foreign ministers of member states to tour world capitals and international organizations in an effort to stop the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.
The OIC has also renewed its urgent call for the international community to intervene urgently to stop the crimes of genocide committed by the Israeli occupation, provide international protection for Palestinian civilians, and ensure the arrival of basic supplies and permanent urgent humanitarian relief.
