The Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has spoken out against plans to construct a synagogue on an endowed Islamic land near the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said that he considered that the actions taken by Israel as an aggression against the Masrah [Ascent to heaven] of the Prophet Mohammed. He said it was an aggression against the holy sites of the Islamic nation.
The Secretary General condemned Israel for committing this ‘criminal’ act, placing on Israeli authorities the blame for the consequences of this blatant abusive act which represents a flagrant violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions that ‘prohibit occupying nations from staging any aggression against the holy shrines or the religious and historical monuments in the territories they occupy.’
Prof Ihsanoglu conducted urgent contacts with a number of officials across the world to discuss the action and sent messages to both the Secretary General of the United Nations, the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Director General of UNESCO, to take a stand against the ‘brutal’ attacks perpetrated by Israel against the blessed Al- Aqsa Mosque and other holy Muslim shrines in the city of Al Quds.
