JEDDAH: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly denounced the Israeli occupation’s resumption of its brutal military aggression against Gaza, adding it embodies a current war crime that deserves punishment and accountability, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.
According to the SPA, the OIC called on the international community, the UNSC to assume its responsibilities and duties towards imposing a truce that would put an end to these continuing Israeli crimes that led to the death and injury of over ten thousand innocent people, mostly women and children, in flagrant violation of global humanitarian law.
