OIC Condemns Israeli Occupation Prime Minister's Racist Remarks and Provocative Visit to Illegal Settlement in Occupied West Bank
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemns the provocative visit made by the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation to the "Ofra" settlement illegally established in the occupied West Bank.
The visit was accompanied by racist statements in which he affirmed "the importance of preserving settlements and holding on to the Land of Israel'.
He also declared that he "will do everything to ensure continued attachment to the Land of Israel and to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state."
The OIC affirms that this constitutes a further escalation of Israel's blatant violations of international law and UN resolutions, particularly UN Security Council Resolution 2334 and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, both of which affirm the illegality of the Israeli occupation and settlement activity and call for their immediate termination.
The OIC also asserts that the visit and the aggressive rhetoric reflect Israel's expansionist and colonial intentions, as the occupying power, and its persistent defiance of the will of the international community, as well as its undermining of all efforts aimed at 'achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the region based on the two-state solution'.
The OIC calls on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to shoulder its responsibilities in ending the Israeli occupation and colonial settlement activity, and to ensure international protection for the Palestinian people.

Syrian, Israeli diplomats met in Paris to discuss de-escalation: Syrian state media - Region
Syria's foreign minister met with an Israeli delegation in Paris to discuss de-escalation and the situation in Druze-majority Sweida province after deadly sectarian violence last month, state media reported Wednesday. State news agency SANA said late Tuesday that Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer discussed "de-escalation and non-interference in Syria's internal affairs". It said their talks also addressed monitoring the Sweida ceasefire announced by the United States last month. Syrian state television reported an unidentified government source as saying Wednesday that Syria's intelligence chief also attended the meeting. "Both sides affirmed their commitment to the unity of Syrian territory... and that Sweida is an integral part of Syria," it reported. A week of violence began on July 13 with clashes between Druze fighters and Sunni Bedouin, but rapidly escalated, drawing in government forces, with Israel also carrying out strikes. Israel, which has its own Druze community, has said it acted to defend the minority group as well as to enforce its own demands for the demilitarisation of southern Syria. "These talks are taking place under US mediation, as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at enhancing security and stability in Syria and preserving the unity and integrity of its territory," SANA said, adding they resulted in "understandings that support stability in the region". Israel and Syria have technically remained at war since 1948. As an Islamist-led offensive late last year toppled longtime Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad, Israel deployed troops to the UN-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights which has separated Israeli and Syrian forces since the armistice that followed the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. State television, quoting the government source, said "the two sides discussed the need to reach a clear mechanism to reactivate the 1974 disengagement agreement". Discussions also addressed the humanitarian situation in southern Syria, with both parties agreeing on "the need to intensify assistance for the people of Sweida and the Bedouin", it reported. Hundreds demonstrated in Sweida on Saturday, calling for self-determination and some raising Israeli flags and accusing Damascus of imposing a blockade, something officials have denied, pointing to the entry of several aid convoys. Paris hosted a similar meeting between Shaibani and Dermer last month, while a diplomatic source previously told AFP that other face-to-face meetings were held in Baku. US envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack said on X late Tuesday that he met with Israeli Druze spiritual leader Mowafaq Tarif, discussing Sweida "and how to bring together the interests of all parties, de-escalate tensions, and build understanding".
