The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has condemned in the strongest terms the illegal decision of the Israeli occupation authorities to confiscate the land on which UNRWA is located in occupied Jerusalem and to transform the site into a settlement outpost, deeming it an extension of the illegal Israeli measures aimed at undermining the existence, mandate, activities, and role of UNRWA as an international organization, in flagrant violation of the UN Charter and relevant resolutions. The organization also stressed that all illegal measures, including the discussion of invalid draft laws to delegitimize the agency, the systematic targeting of its facilities, and the killing and wounding of hundreds of workers and displaced persons in its schools, constitute violations of international law and crimes that require investigation and accountability. OIC stressed that UNRWA is a factor of stability in the region, and plays a vital role in providing basic services and humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees, especially in Gaza Strip. At the same time, OIC called on the international community to assume its responsibilities and oblige Israel to respect the mandate granted to UNRWA by the United Nations General Assembly, provide protection for its facilities, employees, and displaced persons in its schools, and stop all attacks and illegal measures against it.
