JEDDAH, Sept 30 (Bernama-WAFA) -- The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) stressed on Sunday the importance of launching the international coalition to implement the two-state solution, which was announced by Saudi Arabia on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported that the Secretary-General of the organisation Hussein Ibrahim Taha called on all countries to join this historic initiative.
The initiative constitutes a political protection network for the vision of the two-state solution in accordance with international law, the Charter of the United Nations and its resolutions, and embodies a commitment to support efforts aimed at ending the Israeli occupation, establishing a Palestinian state, and achieving just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the region.
Taha renewed calls on countries that have not recognised the State of Palestine to hasten to join the international consensus represented by 149 countries that recognise Palestine, and support its right to obtain full membership in the United Nations, which enhances its legitimacy and political and legal status.
He added that this contributes to establishing the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination, and embodying the establishment of their independent and sovereign state on the lines of 4 June 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital.
