<p>The Secretary General of the Organization of the  Islamic Conference (OIC) has condemned in the strongest terms Israel&#8217;s  &#8220;atrocious&#8221; military aggression against the Palestinians in the Gaza  Strip which has killed and wounded dozens of civilians. Professor  Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said, &#8220;This horrible crime constitutes a serious  escalation of hostilities and a flagrant violation of international laws  and conventions.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a statement published on the OIC&#8217;s website, Prof. Ihsanoglu said that  he holds Israel responsible for the repercussions of this military  escalation and the heinous crimes committed by the Zionist state against  unarmed civilians. Combined with Israel&#8217;s ongoing illegal settlement  construction, the Judaisation of Jerusalem, land confiscation and house  demolition in the West Bank and the Holy City, this aggression against  Gaza will, he added, lead inevitably to more tension and instability in  the region.</p>
<p>On behalf of the OIC, the Secretary General called on all  international bodies to intervene in order to protect the Palestinian  people, stop Israel&#8217;s aggression and bring those responsible for  committing such crimes to justice.</p>
