Organization of Islamic Cooperation has urged international community to take urgent concerted actions to stop Israeli atrocities against civilian population of Palestine.

The demand was made by the OIC Committee of Six on Palestine, which met on the sidelines of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, with the OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha in the chair.

The foreign ministerial-level meeting also proposed the forming of a joint group open to all OIC Member States to promote implementation of the Committee’s decisions.

Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani led the Pakistan delegation at the meeting.

Reaffirming Pakistan’s solidarity with the people of Palestine, he reiterated the call for establishment of a viable, independent and contiguous State of Palestine, on the basis of internationally agreed parameters, pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
