The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has condemned the increasing crimes and acts of violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, OIC condemned the daily crimes committed by colonists in the West Bank, including opening fire at Palestinian residents, destroying properties and setting fire to homes, vehicles and agricultural lands committed under full protection of the Israeli occupation forces.

OIC slammed such attacks as an extension of Israel's open aggression against the Palestinian people in a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.

It held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the consequences of the continued daily crimes and aggression against Palestinians, calling on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to uphold its responsibilities toward the need to provide international protection to the Palestinian people.

OIC stressed the necessity to ensure the immediate and comprehensive cessation of the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem.

It further affirmed the need to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for all crimes committed against the Palestinian people, their land and holy sites.
