The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has adopted a resolution in favour of Palestine in what its Executive Committee described as “The Aggression by Israel, The Occupying Power, in The Palestinian Territories, in Particular, Al-Quds Al-Shareef (East Jerusalem)”.

Moments after, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the country’s territorial landscape belongs to the Jews.

THE WHISTLER reported that the OIC (made up of 57 members), of which Nigeria is a member, held an emergency meeting on Sunday to deliberate on the clash between Israeli forces and Palestinians at the Al-Aqsa–Islam’s 3rd holiest mosques.

The organization outrightly condemned Israel and held that the country was responsible for the escalation in the region and supported Palestine’s ownership of Jerusalem.

It said it, “Condemns in the strongest terms the barbaric attacks launched by Israel, the occupying authority, against the Palestinian people and their land and holy sites; demands complete and immediate stop of these attacks that have affected innocent civilians and their properties, in gross violation of international law and United Nations resolutions on the question of Palestine; and warns that the continuation of and incitement to these attacks and provocations, the threat on the lives of innocent civilians, causing severe suffering to them increase the risks of instability, with serious implications for security in and outside of the region…”

Among other things, the OIC resolved that member states should support Palestine’s struggle to reclaim its land from Israel.

Part of its resolutions reads: “Reiterates that Al-Quds Al-Shareef and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s first qibla and third holiest sanctuary, is a red line for the Islamic ummah, that only with its full liberation from occupation and its return to the Palestinian people and the Islamic ummah will there be security and stability; invites Member States to make concerted and individual efforts, to rally round and defend Al-Quds and its holy sites, face up to Israel’s crimes, provide the Palestinian people with support and the wherewithal for steadfastness to confront the Israeli barbaric attacks; and requests them to respect the OIC resolutions on the Palestinian cause and work to implement them as the central issue of the Islamic ummah and the raison d’etre of the OIC;

“Appreciates the role played by the Chair of the Al-Quds Committee in protecting the sanctuaries in Al-Quds Al-Shareef and standing up to the measures taken by the Israeli occupation authorities to Judaize the holy city;Salutes the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their land and for their historic stand in the face of aggression and occupation, and epic defence of their legitimate rights, standing up to the obliteration, eviction and revocation attempts by the Israeli racist, colonial regime; and reiterates its support and backing for the Palestinian leadership;

“Invites Member States to provide all forms of support and backing for the Palestinian people to strengthen their resilience on their land and to stress the importance of activating the financial safety network, in accordance with the resolution of the 14th Islamic Summit, particularly for the reconstruction of destroyed infrastructure, properties and homes sheltering hundreds of Palestinian families who have been rendered homeless because of the heavy destruction carried out by the Israeli occupation force.”

But Netanyahu vowed to continue to attack any entity trying to terrorize Israel; Hamas in particular.

“Tonight we will celebrate Shavuot, the holiday of the giving of the Torah. At the time of the giving of the Torah, when we received the Ten Commandments, the people of Israel stood together and Rashi writes: "As one man, with one heart."

This is how we stand today - as one man, with one heart. At one heart in the struggle for our country. With one heart behind our soldiers. With one heart for our security and our future.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Government (a member of the OIC) refused to take sides in the ongoing rift between Israel and Palestine, as released via a statement on Thursday.

Read about isreal lobbyists the U.S foreign policy makers circle.

Islam thrives when they are the ones dishing out the Chaos but fire back at them, they start screaming all over the place.

I hope countries and individuals stand up and face these terrorists squarely...just like Israel

No peace, no security until Islam is given this and that...
Boko Haram also says no peace no security until Islam becomes the religion of every Nigerian and Sharia becomes everyone's law!
Why should this Islam be a do or die thing? Why should it be by coercion?
So much violence with a supposed "religion of peace!"

K

Mmm
Any country trying to fight Israel should read bible ooo

Holiness is key to peace

Interesting..

Ur president na supporters club

Ok

Israel must teach them a lesson. They started it, so they should not beg for sympathy.

Obama has brought war to the world again.
I miss Trump

You can't threaten a Nuclear Power - OIC aint seen nothing yet. Israel is a nation that is willing to take down the whole middle east to prevent the repitition of the holocaust in which they lost 6 million souls.

People just don't know how fanatical they are.

Organization of Islamic terrorists.


No Nation can triumph over Isreal, the earlier the terrorists know that the better for them.



I hope the mannequin will not do anything funny that will put the lives of Nigerians at further risk of International invasion.
Most of the Nations in this OIC are failed states riddled with Islamic extremism and Muslim terrorists.


The question I keep asking is why is Islam synonymous with terrorism.

The different between Isreal and Palestine is that Isreal builds missiles to defend its children and people while Palestine/Hamas builds people and children to defend its rockets and missiles that is why they hide in densely populated civilians areas to send rockets to Isreal.


I stand with Isreal!!

No peace religion.

Hmn

No peace for the wicked. Israel ndeeeewooooo!!!

The Nigerian government no get sense oo. They Referred to Israel as just 'Israel' and Palestine as 'State of Palestine'.

Stupidity at its peak.
