Support for Cutting Trade, Oil Ties With Israel Growing Among Arab-Islamic Nations
15:05 12.11.2023 (Updated: 16:56 12.11.2023) Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday refused international calls for a ceasefire and demanded the release of 239 hostages held by Hamas.
Over 70 countries attending the ‘Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit’ in Riyadh on Saturday backed the idea of cutting economies ties with Israel and imposing an “oil embargo” on the Jewish state over Tel Aviv’s refusal to heed international calls to implement a ceasefire.
Leaders and delegations representing nearly 79 nations from
Arab League and the 57-member
Organization of Islamic Cooperation convened in Riyadh for the meeting called in view of the worsening humanitarian situation and a rising death toll in Gaza.
The Summit was chaired by
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman and was attended by
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan among others, according to a statement by OIC.
A joint communique after the joint meeting, as reported by media, called for “binding” resolution by the United Nations (UN) Security Council to bring an end to IDF’s campaign in Gaza.
The unanimously adopted joint communique also
called for an immediate ceasefire as it condemned Israel’s “war crimes” in the
Palestinian territory.
The Islamic and Arab nations refused to characterise Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza as “self-defence”, putting them at odds with the
US and most of the western allies.
However, reports suggest that a plan to implement an economic boycott on Israel or impose an “oil embargo” couldn’t be adopted due to reservations expressed by four of the 22 Arab League nations—Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Jordan.
The four countries also reportedly didn’t back the idea of preventing the
use of American military bases in the Middle-East to support Israel.
Iran Calls for Supplying Weapons to Palestine
The Iranian President proposed a 10-point plan reflecting
Tehran’s position on the current war in the Middle-East.
Raisi urged the other governments at the summit to supply weapons to Palestine if Israel didn’t implement a ceasefire as well as enforcing an “oil boycott”.
According to an official statement,
Raisi urged Israel to immediately withdraw its forces from the Palestinian enclave. He demanded that the IDF must be declared a “terrorist organization”.
Further, Raisi called for setting-up a “special fund” for Gaza’s re-construction.
Over 11,000 Palestinian civilians, more than half of them children, have been killed in Israel Defence Forces’ (IDF) retaliatory strikes meant to target Hamas hideouts in Gaza, according to the United Nations (UN).
The IDF has allowed limited or no humanitarian aid to pass to the Gaza strip, with most of it only flowing through the Rafah border crossing.
Meanwhile, the Israeli foreign ministry revised its death toll due to the Hamas attack on 7 October to 1,200 from 1,400 previously.
