OIC states to urge world parliaments to pressure Israel

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) Member States (PUIC) will contact regional and international counterpart bodies, to urge them practise pressure on Israel to stop criminal aggression on Palestinians, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and all other Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem.
Delegations of the OIC member states have entrusted the PUIC Secretary General with the task in a final statement after their Saturday meeting in Geneva, on the sidelines of the 133th session of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
The statement urged legislatures in the Muslim countries to provide further political and media support to the "resisting" Palestinians, hailing the latter for their steadfastness against the Israel's crimes, especially those living in Jerusalem.
It also called upon the OIC governments and Muslim peoples not to let the Jerusalemites alone at the face of the Israeli occupation, urging the Muslim nations to fulfil their commitments toward Jerusalem.
The PUIC delegations held Israel fully responsible for all the incidents taking place in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa. They condemned the Israeli crimes against the Palestinians, especially in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa as "crimes of war and crimes against humanity." They asked the international community to provide due protection to the Palestinian people and to stop Israel's violation of the relevant international norms, conventions and resolutions, that hold the Muslim and Christian sites integral parts of Jerusalem, "capital of the Palestinian State."
