Why it matters:
The upcoming OIC meeting is crucial for Islamic nations to unite against proposals that threaten the rights and existence of Palestinians. A strong collective response could influence international perceptions and actions regarding the Palestinian issue.
The big picture:
The upcoming OIC meeting in Jeddah marks the latest in a series of OIC sessions initiated by Iran over the past 20 months to address the Palestinian cause. The discussions are particularly timely given recent plots suggesting the relocation of Palestinians to neighboring countries, which raises significant concerns about their future.
What he's saying:
Baghaei emphasized, "The OIC meeting convens at Iran's request to address the issue of occupied Palestine in the past 20 months."
He added, "The message of the summit is that the Islamic community will not agree to any plans for ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine, and we expect the meeting to pave the way for a firm stance from Islamic countries against such proposals."
Key points:
- The OIC meeting in Jeddah is scheduled for Friday to discuss the Palestinian situation.
- The summit will focus on recent plots for the displacement of Palestinians to neighboring countries.
- Baghaei described these proposals as a continuation of genocidal plans that have been pursued politically and through intimidation.
Go deeper:
The Iranian government's strong opposition to displacement plans underscores its commitment to the Palestinian cause and its desire to rally support from other Islamic nations.
