The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned on Tuesday the Israeli Knesset’s approval of a “racist” bill to expand mechanisms for confiscating Palestinian tax revenues, in “flagrant violation of international law and existing bilateral agreements”. It warned of the “gravity of this illegal measure, which constitutes an assault on the rights of the Palestinian people and their financial resources.” The move will “exacerbate the deteriorating humanitarian and economic conditions in the Palestinian Territories,” it added.
