Thursday, 11 June _The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has warned against the Israeli regime’s controversial plan to annex large parts of the occupied West Bank, saying such a move will mark a “serious escalation” that threatens the so-called peace process on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

OIC decries Israeli annexation plan in West Bank as ‘serious escalation’The looming annexation plan amounts to “an official declaration by Israel of revocation of all its signed agreements a termination of the negotiated solution, a serious escalation of its colonial policies and measures, a flagrant aggression on the historical, legal and political rights of the Palestinian people, and a blatant violation of the principles and standards of international law, the UN Charter and relevant UN resolutions,” the OIC said in a statement released late on Wednesday.

The organization also held the Tel Aviv regime fully responsible for the consequences of its colonial policies in the occupied Palestinian territories, including its annexation plans.

The OIC then called on the UN Security Council, the General Assembly, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) as well as other international organizations and bodies to counter Israel’s expansionist policies, and condemn any party that supports such hostile steps in any way.
