OIC Condemns Visit of US House Speaker to Ariel Settlement in Occupied West Bank
Mohamed Mandour The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the visit of US House Speaker Mike Johnson, leading a congressional delegation, to the Ariel settlement in the occupied West Bank. The OIC considered this visit a flagrant violation of United Nations resolutions, particularly UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which affirms that Israeli colonial settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Al-Quds, are illegal, and calls on all states to distinguish between the territories of the occupied State of Palestine and the State of Israel. The OIC stressed that this visit contributes to the encouragement and continuation of settlement crimes and organized settler terrorism against the Palestinian people. The organization also called on the international community, led by the United States, to fulfill its political and legal obligations to pressure Israel, the occupying power, to halt all settlement policies, settler terrorism, and daily crimes, and to comply with international law and relevant United Nations resolutions. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
