RNA - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned Saturday the recent burning of Al-Huda Mosque in West Bethlehem and a building belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem by a group of Israeli extremist settlers.
Iyad bin Amin Madani, the OIC secretary general called the attack against Islamic and Christian holy sites as “Systematic” and added that these “shameful crimes” are committed in continuation of the Zionist regime’s attacks and aggressions against the Palestinian people and their sanctities.
He charged the Israeli occupation with a full responsibility on the aftermaths of such attacks that violate international treaties and charters.
Iyad bin Amin Madani also called on the international community, specifically the UN Security Council, to prevent the Zionist regime of Israel from taking aggressive actions against the Palestinians.
The mosque, located in Bethlehem in the West Bank, was set on fire Wednesday by Israeli settlers.
The incident was followed by another on Thursday, this time on a Greek Orthodox Church building in Jerusalem.
