The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has warned against Israeli plans to undermine the political and legal status of Hebron in the occupied West Bank after a decision by Israel’s finance minister to strip the municipality of its powers over the Ibrahimi Mosque, the Old City and surrounding areas.
