The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly denounced the Israeli high court of justice’s decision to evacuate and demolish Khan al-Ahmar village in east Jerusalem.
In a statement on Thursday OIC secretary-general Yousef al-Othaimeen described the Israeli decision as “illegal” and “part of the attempts to legitimize Israel’s policies of settlement expansion ethnic cleansing and forced displacement” in the Palestinian occupied areas.
Othaimeen called on the international community to condemn and reject the Israeli decision over Khan al-Ahmar and take action to cur Israel’s violations and practices that aim to undermine any chance to reach a two-state solution.
