OIC to discuss Israeli annexation plan in June: Palestinian official

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will convene in June to discuss the Israeli government's plan of annexing parts of the West Bank territories, a senior Palestinian official said Friday.

Reyad al-Malki, Palestinian minister of foreign affairs, said in a press statement that he agreed with OIC Secretary General Yousef Al-Othaimeen to hold a ministerial meeting for OIC Executive Committee next month.

Al-Malki said that he discussed with Al-Othaimeen on the telephone the dangers of the Israeli annexation plan on security and stability in the region.

On Tuesday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced the abolition of all the agreements and understandings reached with Israel and the United States.
