The resolution affirmed full support for Somalia's sovereignty and expressed unwavering solidarity with its government. In another resolution adopted by the session, the OIC reaffirmed that a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace in the Middle East is contingent upon Israel's complete withdrawal from all Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.
