CAIRO, December 3, 2011 (WAFA) - Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, strongly condemned in a press release issued Saturday Israeli government approval to build 650 housing units in Jerusalem-area settlements and a new road that would link settlements in this area.
“The Israeli settlement policy aims to isolate Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings and change its demographic character in a blatant violation of international law and United Nations resolutions,” said Ihsanoglu.
He called on the Quartet, which is composed of the UN, United States, European Union and Russia, and the UN Security Council to adopt a decisive position to end all provocative measures and illegal practices in the occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly in East Jerusalem.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
