The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) slammed Australia's recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the occupying Power, as an illegal move that violates relevant United Nations General Assembly and Security Council resolutions, in particular UNSC resolution 478 on the status of Jerusalem.

OIC stressed in a statement that Jerusalem is an integral part of Palestinian territories occupied by Israel in 1967 as stipulated by all international legitimacy resolutions, affirming its rejection of all measures and attempts that would prejudice the legal status of the city of Jerusalem, WAFA reported.

OIC called on Australia to review its decision and respect its legal and political obligations under international law and the resolutions of international legitimacy, in particular the recognition of the State of Palestine on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
