The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned on Monday the “Israeli cabinet’s” decisions to impose a new reality through colonization and altering the legal status of the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem.
In a statement, the OIC said the “Israeli” colonial settlement policy constitutes a war crime and a flagrant violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions, most notably Security Council Resolution 2334, as well as the advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice.
The OIC reiterated its call upon the international community, particularly the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities and take immediate action to end all crimes and violations committed by the occupation against the Palestinian people, their land, and their holy sites.
Earlier on Sunday, the Zionist occupation’s “Security Cabinet” approved measures that change the legal and civil framework in the occupied West Bank.
Media reports said the decisions include repealing a law barring the sale of Palestinian land to Jews in the West Bank, unsealing land ownership records, and transferring building permit authority in a Hebron settlement bloc from the Palestinian municipality to “Israel’s” civil administration.
The measures also expand the occupation’s oversight and enforcement into areas classified as Area A and Area B, which would allow demolitions and seizures of Palestinian property even in areas administered civilly and security-wise by the Palestinian Authority.
Under the 1995 Oslo II Accord, Area A is under full Palestinian civil and security control, Area B is under Palestinian civil control along with the occupation’s control, and Area C remains under full Zionist control, which accounts for about 60% of the West Bank.
According to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, a Palestinian governmental agency, the Zionist occupation carried out 538 demolitions in 2025, affecting about 1,400 homes and structures, in an unprecedented increase compared with previous years.
