Thirty-one Arab and Islamic countries, backed by the Arab League, OIC and GCC, have condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for a “Greater Israel”, Xinhua reported.
In a joint statement, they said his remarks violate international law and threaten regional peace. They also denounced far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich’s approval of new settlements in the sensitive “E1” area and his rejection of a Palestinian state.
The groups warned against annexation and displacement of Palestinians, urged an immediate Gaza ceasefire, and demanded unhindered humanitarian access, according to Xinhua.
