International Muslim organization strongly criticizes Israeli Prime Minister's tour of disputed territory settlements

In a recent development, the Muslim World League (MWL) has strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the West Bank settlement of Ofra, which is situated on occupied Palestinian land. The MWL's Secretary-General, Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, stated that Netanyahu's actions undermine efforts to end the conflict and block prospects for peace.

During his visit, Netanyahu boasted about preventing the creation of a Palestinian state and stated that he had fulfilled his promise to ensure continued hold on the Land of Israel. These statements were deemed a defiance of international legitimacy by the MWL.

Al-Issa's statement also emphasizes the urgency of action from the international community to address the conflict. He warned that continued violations by an extremist Israeli government pose a grave threat to regional and global stability.

The MWL's appeal calls for the implementation of the two-state solution to end the conflict. This stance aligns with the MWL's support for the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue, a position they reiterated at the last international conference on the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian conflict, hosted by Saudi Arabia.

Notably, Al-Issa's statement does not mention Netanyahu's visit to the settlement of Ofra specifically or his boasts about preventing the creation of a Palestinian state. However, the MWL considers Netanyahu's visit and statements as part of the occupation government's policy to provoke and defy international legitimacy.

The settlement of Ofra celebrated its 50th anniversary during Netanyahu's visit. This visit comes amidst growing criticism from the international community regarding Israel's settlement activities in the occupied territories.

Al-Issa renewed the League's appeal to the international community to take action to save the Palestinian people and stop the conflict. His statement underscores the MWL's unwavering commitment to a peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue.

It is worth mentioning that Netanyahu's statements about the Land of Israel were made 25 years ago, according to the Times of Israel. However, the MWL's condemnation of these statements and Netanyahu's recent actions reaffirms their stance against any actions that impede the path to peace.
