Source: Arab News
JEDDAH: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Sunday urged the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to take action against repeated and dangerous Israeli violations of holy sites.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the 56-nation group made the call after violence erupted on Sunday as Israeli security forces attacked Palestinians protesting access by Jews into the compound on an annual day of Jewish mourning.
OIC Secretary-General Iyad bin Ameen Madani denounced the incursion into and desecration of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque by groups of extremist settlers under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces as an act of provocation and blatant violation of relevant international resolutions and instruments.
He said the settlers blocked access to the mosque and savagely attacked the worshippers in the mosque's compound.
