JEDDAH - The Organization of Islamic Conference on Monday strongly denounced the Zionist plan aimed at demolishing dozens of homes in occupied 'Jerusalem' (al-Quds), charging that it fell in line with attempts to judaize the holy city.

Dr. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the OIC Secretary General, said in a statement that the Zionist plot aims at changing the demographic status of the city and at tampering with its Arab and Islamic identity.

He said that the scheme poses dangers on the future of 'Jerusalem' (Al-Quds) and leads to uncalculated consequences other than constituting a flagrant violation of the fourth Geneva Convention that does not allow an occupation power to tamper with the demographic conditions in the land it occupies.

Ihsanoglu urged the OIC and Quds committee member countries to immediately act to end this aggression and to ask the world community to pressure "Israel" into desisting from implementing such "illegal schemes".

For his part, Nafedh Azzam, one of the Islamic Jihad leaders in the Gaza Strip, on Monday called on the Arab and Islamic countries to protect 'Jerusalem' (Al-Quds) from "Israeli" judaization measures.

He described the "Israeli" decision to tear down 88 homes in 'Jerusalem' (Al-Quds) as "oppressive" that aims at changing its demographic status in preparation for taking complete control of the city.

Azzam warned that the Palestinian people would not remain silent vis-à-vis such "serious, criminal practices" against 'Jerusalem' (Al-Quds) and its inhabitants, and added that the measures would carry grave repercussions on the entire region.

The Jihad leader urged the Arab and Islamic countries to extend all possible support to the people of 'Jerusalem' (Al-Quds) strengthen their steadfastness in face of the Zionist schemes.
