The 57 member states of the OIC gathered at an emergency meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Friday to discuss Israel’s continuing aggression against the Palestinian people and a recent plan by the US, Israel’s key ally, to displace millions from the Gaza Strip as part of the area’s reconstruction plan.

In the meeting, the OIC adopted a plan drawn up by Egypt and adopted by Arab leaders at an Arab League summit in Cairo on Tuesday that aims to rebuild Gaza without displacing its 2.4 million inhabitants. The Arab proposal is seen as a counterproposal to US President Donald Trump’s own plan for Gaza, which has garnered global condemnation for its perceived attempt at ethnic cleansing.

The OIC urged the UN Security Council (UNSC) to uphold international peace and security and deploy peacekeeping forces in Gaza as a step toward “realizing Palestine’s sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory”. This is consistent with what the Arab League has demanded.

Foreign Minister Sugiono, representing Indonesia at the OIC summit, said that the biggest Muslim-majority country in Southeast Asia is “ready to contribute to the reconstruction efforts in Gaza by collaborating closely with community organizations”.

Sugiono also voiced Indonesia’s approval of the Arab plan and said the OIC must be united to support it.

“Solidarity and unity for Palestine are a must. The Palestinian issue must unite us, not divide us,” the minister said, as quoted from a press release from the Foreign Ministry.
