IRNA

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has issued a warning about what it describes as increasing crimes by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, following recent violence in the village of Qasra near Nablus. The OIC stated that these actions represent a clear violation of international law.

The warning comes after reports of heightened aggression against Palestinian residents in Qasra, a village located in the northern part of the West Bank. According to the OIC, the escalation of attacks by settlers has raised serious concerns among member states about the safety and rights of Palestinians living under occupation.

The OIC called on the international community to take urgent measures to protect civilians and to hold those responsible for the violence accountable. The organization also reiterated its support for Palestinian rights and called for adherence to international legal standards in the region.

The West Bank, a territory occupied since 1967, remains a focal point of tension between Israelis and Palestinians, with frequent incidents involving settlers and local residents. The OIC’s statement adds to a chorus of international voices urging restraint and respect for human rights in the area.
