(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) By Abdullah Bugis
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 (KUNA) -- A communique issued in an extraordinary meeting of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) underscored collective support of the Palestinian cause, a Kuwaiti official said on Thursday. Speaking to KUNA, Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah noted that the communique firmly supports a UN resolution that renders Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory legally void.
Moreover, the Kuwaiti official said that the statement also approves of UN resolution 2334/2016, which states that Israel's settlement activity is a blatant violation of international law and has no legal validity.
On a recent Middle East peace conference held in the French capital Paris, he pointed out that the statement heaped praise on efforts to encourage a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Meanwhile, Al-Jarallah also noted that the statement urged OIC member nations to step up efforts to cleave to international law and decisions made at OIC conferences.
It also highlighted the religious and spiritual significance that the holy city of Jerusalem holds, as well as Palestine's rightful sovereignty over the city. (end) aab.nam
