The OIC Executive Committee will also discuss the deteriorating conditions that threat the Palestinian civilians as well as the security and stability in the region.
The extraordinary meeting of the OIC is scheduled to be held on Wednesday at the General Secretariat headquarters in Jeddah Governorate.
In an earlier statement, the General Secretariat of the OIC expressed absolute rejection of Israeli call for forced displacement of the Palestinian people and attempts to transfer the humanitarian crisis exacerbated by Israeli occupation to neighboring countries.
The OIC also strongly condemned the blockade of medical, relief supplies, and basic necessities to the Gaza Strip, considering this as collective punishment which is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
The organization urged the international community to urgently take measures to stop all forms of Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.
The OIC call for an emergency meeting comes as at least 2,750 Palestinians have been killed and 9,700 others wounded as the Israeli regime presses ahead with its bombing campaign against residential neighborhoods in the besieged Gaza Strip.
