The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned, on Monday, the Israeli occupation authorities' approval of a project to build a settlement road in occupied Jerusalem, which aims to strengthen the connection between Israeli settlements, in flagrant violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions.
In a statement, the organization warned of the danger of this step, which is part of a plan to annex the Ma'ale Adumim settlement to occupied Jerusalem and isolate occupied Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings, undermining the two-state solution.
The organization also renewed its call on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to assume its responsibilities by obligating Israel, the occupying power, to halt all policies of settlement, annexation, forced displacement, and genocide perpetrated against the Palestinian people, and to activate accountability mechanisms, including the imposition of international sanctions on Israel, the occupying power, for its repeated violations of international law.
