The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has condemned Israel’s actions as it endorsed Egypt’s reconstruction plan for Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

The endorsement came in a resolution that condemned the “Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people and the schemes for their displacement from their land”.

In that text, the OIC has demanded an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza, and humanitarian access to the Strip, and Israel’s withdrawal from all occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.

It condemned Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Syria and called for sanctions against Israel, holding it “legally accountable for the significant harm arising from the war crimes and acts of genocide it perpetrated against the Palestinian people”.

The organisation also called for the creation of an international fund, in cooperation with the UN, to support about 40,000 orphans in Gaza.
