Islamic nations slam Israel over Gaza attacks
A league of Muslim nations has called on Israel to halt attacks killing Palestinian civilians amid heavy fighting between it and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, even as fissures between countries over their recognition of Israel emerged.
A statement by the 57-nation Organisation of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) closely resembled previous ones issued by the Saudi-based group, including support for the call made over decades for Palestinians to have their own nation with East Jerusalem as its capital.
