OIC slams Israeli on annexation plan

Israel's plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank mark a "serious escalation" that threatens the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has said.  Following a virtual meeting of OIC foreign ministers, the pan-Islamic body said it "warns against the dangerous intention of Israel". Israel intends to annex West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley, as proposed by US President Donald Trump, with initial steps slated to begin from July 1.
