Rabat, Sha'ban 11, 1435, Jun 9, 2014, SPA -- The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) roundly condemned Israeli occupation authorities’ decision to build new settlements in East Al-Quds and the West Bank. In a press release today, ISESCO said the decision by Israeli Housing Minister Uri Ariel to give approval for a plan to build 1,100 settler units in the West Bank and 400 more in East Al-Quds, in direct response to the formation of the National Palestinian Unity Government, was a blatant affront to international community and UN resolutions and a provocation to the entire Muslim world. In the same vein, ISESCO called on the Member States and the United Nations to take a firm position to prevent the Israeli occupation authorities from pressing ahead with this aggressive plan which constitutes a breach of peace and security in the region and an obstacle to peaceful solution between Palestinians and Israelis. --SPA 22:36 LOCAL TIME 19:36 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
