The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) said it condemns any position adopted by an international body that supports prolonging the occupation of Palestinian territories, including a US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel‘s capital.

The OIC summit in Mecca said in its final statement on Saturday that it opposes what it calls all illegal Israeli measures aimed at changing facts in the disputed territories including Jerusalem, and undermining the two-state solution.

It urged member countries to take “appropriate measures” against countries that move their embassies to Jerusalem.

The OIC also refused to accept any proposal for peaceful settlement that did not accord with what it termed Palestinians’ legitimate inalienable rights, the final statement said.

It stressed the importance of amassing support for the budget of the Palestinian government to continue its work.
