Foreign ministers of OIC member states came together at the behest of Iran to discuss Israel's "ongoing crimes."
The Organization of Islamic States (OIC) condemned Israel at an “extraordinary” meeting at its General Secretariat’s headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, accusing the Jewish state of a laundry list of crimes.
Foreign ministers of OIC member states came together in Jeddah at the behest of Iran, “to discuss the ongoing crimes by Israel, the illegal occupying power, against the Palestinian people and its infringing on the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Iran called the meeting after the death of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas’s political bureau, in Tehran on July 31. Iran holds Israel responsible, though the Jewish state has remained mum on the killing.
