Jeddah, MINA – The Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Monday fiercely condemned Israel’s approval of plans to build a further 1,100 settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

The move was a “flagrant attack on the rights of the Palestinian people” aimed at preventing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, KUNA reported, citing OIC Secretary General Youssef Al-Othaimeen in a statement.
