The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly denounced the ongoing Israeli genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip, urging its 57 member states to impose sanctions on the regime.
The OIC made the call in a resolution adopted at the end of the 15th summit of the organization in the Gambian capital Banjul.
The resolution called on all member states to impose "sanctions on Israel [as] the occupying power, and [start by] halting the export of weapons and ammunition used by its army to perpetrate the crime of genocide in Gaza."
The resolution urged members "to exercise diplomatic, political and legal pressure and to take any deterrent measures to stop the crimes of the Israeli colonial occupation, and the genocidal war it is waging against the Palestinian people, including by imposing sanctions."
The organization also called for "an immediate, permanent and unconditional ceasefire" in the war-wracked Palestinian territory.
Addressing the summit on Saturday, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian urged Muslim countries to cut all relations with Israel to mount pressure on the regime to end its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza.
