JEDDAH, July 30, 2025 (WAFA) – The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hussein Ibrahim Taha welcomed the announcement by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer of his country's intention to recognize the State of Palestine next September.
In a statement, Taha affirmed that this step is in compliance with international law and relevant UN resolutions, and a historic support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination.
He stressed that recognizing the State of Palestine is a political, legal, and moral duty, and constitutes a basis for achieving peace and contributes to protecting and implementing the two-state solution. He reiterated his call on states that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to do so and support its full membership in the United Nations.
