02:25AM Fri 24 Oct, 2014
Member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have condemned the continued attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and worshippers by the Israeli occupation forces and settlers, SPA said.
Addressing a UN Security Council meeting, Saudi envoy at the UN Abdullah Yahya Al-Malami, speaking on behalf of the OIC, said these acts are considered a flagrant violation of the international law and UN resolutions. He said the meeting is of particular importance as it came following the recent inhumane Israeli military aggression on Gazans.
During the 51-day aggression, the Israeli war machine took lives, burned facilities and deliberately targeted civilians including children, women and the elderly leaving over 2,800 dead, injuring 11,100 and destroying 10,620 buildings, the envoy said.
In addition to the above, Israel also attacked UN institutions. He said that the violations constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity the memory of which would not fade for generations.
