In a not so unexpected response on August 1, 2017, the OIC took a hard stance against Israel for the security measures installed at the Temple Mount last month. OIC Secretary General Yousef Al-Othaimeen accused Israel of attempting to take control of the Al Aqsa complex. Others said Israel used common sense to remove metal detectors from the mount. However, a joint communication issued after the meeting said they, “strongly condemns Israel's recent provocative actions," and the also accused Israel of “excessive force against peaceful Palestinian worshippers" at the location.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that it appears nothing was announced from the OIC concerning the event that had the closest proximity to the instillation of security measures: the use of the Al Aqsa Mosque by three assassins to smuggle deadly weapons onto the Temple Mount. The three then subsequently killed two Druze-Israeli police officers. After the shooting the three fled back onto the Temple Mount causing the police to shoot them on the site.
