JEDDAH, September 6, 2026 (WAFA) – The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, condemned the racist statements made by ministers in the Israeli occupation government regarding the plan to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. He stressed that this constitutes ethnic cleansing, a grave violation of international law, and a crime against humanity that warrants accountability before the relevant international judicial bodies.

In a statement issued Sunday evening, Cheikh Ahmed affirmed that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory. He warned of the danger of these Israeli plans, which aim to uproot the Palestinian people from their land, directly threatening regional and international peace and security and undermining international efforts to achieve peace based on the two-state solution.

He called on the international community, particularly the Security Council, to take deterrent measures against the Israeli occupation's plans to alter the demographic, geographic, and political reality in the occupied Palestinian territory, considering these measures null and void and illegal under relevant UN resolutions.

The Secretary-General stressed the need to complete the stages of implementing the peace plan under Security Council Resolution 2803, ensuring adequate and unhindered access for humanitarian aid, achieving a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces, and achieving peace based on the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital.
