OIC Welcomes the Republic of Barbados’ Decision to Recognize the State of Palestine


Jeddah: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomed the Republic of Barbados’ decision to recognize the State of Palestine, noting that this crucial step is consistent with international law and resolutions, and contributes to supporting international efforts to end the colonial Israeli occupation and achieve peace and stability in the region.

The organization renewed its call to all nations that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to take the initiative to announce their recognition of it, in support of the two-state solution, the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to return, and the establishment of an independent State of Palestine on the Palestinian land occupied since June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
