An extraordinary ministerial meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation that convened in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, today, heard very strong statements from the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Iran, among others, on Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan told the meeting that the Palestinian people are facing “the most horrific forms of oppression and genocide” due to Israel’s ongoing assault, calling it an unprecedented violation of international law, reported Al Arabiya. He stressed that “international silence regarding these crimes exacerbates the tragedy and undermines prospects for peace and security in the region and the world.”
Prince Faisal declared that the international community must act to stop “the crimes of the occupation” and prevent Israel from pursuing its aggressive policies, “including attempts to occupy Gaza City and impose settlement projects.”
