Istanbul (UNA-OIC) � Providing international protection to the Palestinian people has become an urgent need in light of the repeated Israeli violations, Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen has affirmed, calling for non-leniency with any country supporting the Israeli claims on Jerusalem.

Al-Othaimeen made the remarks in his speech at the opening session of the Council of Foreign Ministers Preparatory to the Extraordinary Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Palestine in the Turkish city of Istanbul on Friday. Foreign ministers from 15 OIC member states are attending the session.

The OIC chief said the international community has the responsibility to protect the Palestinian people from Israeli violations according to the Fourth Geneva Convention Relating to the Protection of Civilian Persons. In this regard, he expressed his support for Kuwait's efforts in the UN Security Council to put forward a special draft resolution on the provision of international protection to the Palestinian people.

Al-Othaimeen said that Israel killed and wounded hundreds in cold blood while celebrating the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem. He added that Israel has deliberately increased the pace of its provocation and brutal military aggression against the defenseless Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

The OIC chief pointed out that the repeated impunity enjoyed by Israel has encouraged it to persist in its colonial policies. He added that the UN Security Council's failure to issue a statement condemning the Israeli massacre is a shame on our civilized world.

The secretary general termed the US relocation of its embassy to Jerusalem as a violation of international law", adding that "this move has led to the aggravation of the situation, as we warned earlier on various occasions.
