TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragut headed to Saudi Arabia on Thursday afternoon to attend an emergency meeting of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation on Gaza.
The meeting will be held in Jeddah on Friday. In Jeddah, 57 Islamic State blocs are headquartered.
Araghchi will attend the meeting and hold discussions with some of his OIC counterparts and the block’s executive director.
The OIC Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, held at the Iranian initiative, will focus on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the extinction of Palestine.
The OIC Foreign Minister is expected to adopt a unified and decisive stance on the plan to force Palestinians to relocate from the Gaza Strip.
According to IRIB news agency, the foreign minister is expected to seek reconstruction of Gaza, provide humanitarian assistance to the Gaza people, and demand punishment from the Zionist regime leaders who committed war crimes and genocide against the Palestinians.
Speaking on a special television program on Thursday night, Esmaille Baghihai, a spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Iran’s proposal and emergency meetings are being held to mobilize the Islamic world against the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
Arab leaders on Tuesday approved Egypt’s postwar plan for the Gaza Strip, rebutting Trump’s plan to underestimate territory and redevelop it as a beach destination.
The $53 billion (49.6 billion euros) plan approved by Arab leaders at the Cairo summit will allow around 2 million Palestinians in Gaza to remain on the strip.
“The meeting of the Ministers of Islamic State Foreign Affairs is a continuation of this trend and is opposed to a plan to curb the people of Gazan,” Baghhai pointed out.
