FM Dar has presented the following seven urgent and essential steps for the Gaza crisis:

1. An immediate, permanent and unconditional ceasefire across Gaza and occupied Palestinian territory with full implementation of UNSC resolutions
2. Unfettered, sustained and secure humanitarian access to all civilians in need and the protection of aid workers, medical teams and UN personnel.
3. Reinforce international support to UNRWA, which remains indispensable to the survival of millions of Palestinians, with the OIC playing a proactive role in this end
4. An end to forced displacement, illegal settlements and annexation of Palestinian land, particularly in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
5. The implementation of the OIC’s reconstruction plan for Gaza, which represents a vital framework for post-conflict recovery and rehabilitation, sustainable development and the restoration of dignity of the people of Palestine
6. The revival of a genuine process to achieve a just, comprehensive and a lasting two-state solution in accordance with intl law and relevant UN and OIC resolutions
7. Accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity

Dar said Israel’s aim to occupy Gaza City would be a deliberate attempt to obliterate Palestinian existence and heritage that must be firmly opposed.

He also said that Israel must not be allowed to act with impunity in defiance of the UN Charter, international law and binding measures of the ICJ.
