OIC Condemns Israeli Occupation’s Piracy of Palestinian Tax Revenues

Manama: The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the so-called Israeli Knesset's approval of a racist bill to expand mechanisms for confiscating Palestinian tax revenues, in flagrant violation of international law and existing bilateral agreements. It warned of the gravity of this illegal measure, which constitutes an assault on the rights of the Palestinian people and their financial resources and would exacerbate the deteriorating humanitarian and economic conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. According to Saudi Press Agency, the General Secretariat renewed its call on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities by pressuring the Israeli occupation to stop this official piracy and to immediately and unconditionally release all Palestinian tax revenues being illegally withheld.
