The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) reiterated the importance of the role of the Al-Quds Committee, chaired by King Mohammed VI, in confronting the dangerous policies implemented by the Israeli occupation authorities in Al-Quds Asharif.

This came in the final statement, issued at the end of the extraordinary meeting of the Organization’s Executive Committee, held on Wednesday in Jeddah, which discussed the continuation of the Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The document stressed the importance of the role of the Al-Quds Committee, chaired by the King, in confronting the dangerous policies implemented by the Israeli occupation authorities in Al-Quds Asharif, aimed at changing the identity and legal status of the city, as well as its demographic, cultural and historical composition.

The extraordinary meeting, held at the request of Palestine and Jordan, and in coordination with Saudi Arabia, the current president of the Islamic Summit and chairman of the Executive Committee, also commended the role played by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency.

The document affirmed that the department of Al-Quds endowments and Al-Aqsa Mosque affairs, under the Jordanian Ministry of Endowments, Holy Places and Islamic Affairs, is the authority empowered to manage the affairs of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, reaffirming the right of the State of Palestine to sovereignty over the occupied city of East Al-Quds, and that Israel has no right or sovereignty over the occupied city of Al-Quds and its Islamic and Christian holy places.
