Muslim states must act uniformly and to speak against the Israeli plan together to take control of the Palestinian city of Gaza, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday after negotiations in Egypt. According to Reuters report, TASR reports this.
- Together, Muslim states condemn the Israeli plan for Gaza.
- OIC describes Israel’s plan as a violation of international law.
- Egypt, Turkey and others call on the situation.
- The step of Israel threatens the possibilities of reaching a peace agreement.
- The international community is called to stop escalation.
Both Egypt and Turkey condemned the plan of Israel on Friday to take control of the densely populated city of Gaza. The Turkish Foreign Ministry called on the international community to “fulfill its obligation” and prevented the decision of the Israeli government from moving Palestinians from their own territory.
At a press conference with the Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Badr Abdaláti, Fidan said that the states of Islamic cooperation (OIC) called an extraordinary meeting. According to the head of Turkish diplomacy, Israeli policy is aimed to expel the Palestinians from their territory through hunger, and that its aim is a permanent invasion of the Gaza Strip. He added that there are no justifiable reasons for states to continue to support Israel.
Israel refuses to seek to starve the Palestinians during the Gaza War and claim that the Palestinian militant Hamas movement could end this war if they surrendered. “What is happening today is a very dangerous development … not only for the Palestinian nation or neighboring states,” Said Egyptian Foreign Minister Abdalatti. He described the plan of Israel as inadmissible.
OIC on Saturday’s statement stated that Israel’s plan is a dangerous and unacceptable escalation, an apparent violation of international law and an attempt to “consolidate illegal occupation”. At the same time, the organization pointed out that the Israeli plan would destroy any opportunity for peace.
Egypt, Qatar and the United States, as intermediaries for months, have been trying to achieve a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. OIC called on the World Powers and the UN Security Council to “take over its legal and humanitarian responsibility to take steps to stop” Israeli plan in the Gaza Strip, and to also ensure immediate liability for what they described as a violation of international law by Israel.
AFP AFP reported on Saturday that Approximately 20 Arab and Muslim countries, including Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, condemned the Israel plan to take control of the densely populated city of Gaza in the Gaza Strip And they described this step as a dangerous escalation.
Israel’s plan was also condemned by the Russian Foreign Ministry on Saturday. “The implementation of such a decision and a plan that has triggered conviction and rejection is associated with the risk of worsening the already extremely dramatic situation in the Palestinian enclave, which carries all the features of a humanitarian disaster,” stated the resort in its statement.
