JEDDAH: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has welcomed the UN Security Council Resolution No. 2720, which calls for urgent steps to be taken to allow immediate, expanded, safe, and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid and to create the necessary conditions for a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza.
In a press statement today, the OIC considered the resolution an important step that requires immediate implementation.
The OIC also called on the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to force Israel, the occupying power, to comply immediately and fully with the provisions of this resolution, ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid, protect civilians and workers in the media, medical and humanitarian fields, and stop the plan for the forced displacement of the Palestinian people.
The OIC also renewed its call to end this brutal Israeli military aggression and the crimes of destruction, displacement, and genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinian
people throughout the Palestinian territories, especially in the Gaza Strip.

In an issued statement this afternoon, the head of the ‘Dignity Movement”, MP Faisal Karami, denounced the burning of a Christmas tree in the courtyard of one of Tripoli’s churches, considering it “not permissible” to address the incident as an improvised act outside the context of evil that is linked to Zionist scenarios, stressing that Tripoli has always been targeted at this level.
He added: “Tripoli, the city of coexistence, has a history that speaks for itself, and its present is fortified by national unity that will not be touched by sinful hands.”
