The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, a 57-member bloc representing Muslim-majority nations, has warned of "grave risks" posed by Israeli announcements aimed at annexing West Bank areas, Middle East Eye reported. The OIC issued the warning in a formal statement, characterizing the annexation proposals as a significant threat without specifying which recent Israeli announcements triggered the alert.
The statement reflects escalating concern among Islamic nations over Israeli settlement expansion in Palestinian territories. Israel has periodically announced new settlement projects and annexation initiatives affecting the occupied West Bank, drawing repeated criticism from international bodies and Arab states. The OIC regularly issues formal statements addressing Israeli policies it views as threatening Palestinian interests and regional stability.
