Jeddah, MINA – Indonesia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Anis Matta has called on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to mobilize all its power and resources to stop Israel’s plan to annex the Gaza Strip and expand illegal settlements in the West Bank.
Speaking at the Extraordinary Session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Monday, Anis stressed the urgent need for collective action.
