The steps and decisions made by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) are very important in stopping Israel’s aggression against Palestine and Lebanon which is still ongoing, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Monday (11/11).
“Erdogan underlined the importance of the decisions and actions that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will take to stop Israeli aggression,” said Turkey’s Communications Directorate in X after a meeting between President Erdogan and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman on the sidelines of the summit in the capital Riyadh.
Erdogan, who is in Riyadh to attend the Extraordinary Summit of the OIC and Arab League, discussed a number of regional and international issues with the crown prince. The two also discussed bilateral relations.
“Stressing the importance of unity and solidarity among Muslim countries to stop Israel’s attacks on Palestine and Lebanon, President Erdogan stated that Turkey has started an arms embargo initiative against Israel under the UN to end Israeli aggression and efforts to gain greater support will continue carried out,” said the directorate.

**Interview with Dr. Ayse Karaman, Political Analyst and Middle East Expert**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Karaman. Recently, President Erdogan highlighted the crucial role of the OIC in addressing global issues affecting Muslim communities. What do you see as the key challenges the OIC faces in this regard?
**Dr. Karaman:** Thank you for having me. The OIC indeed faces several significant challenges. One of the main issues is unity among member states. With different political agendas and priorities, it can be difficult to formulate a cohesive response to crises. Additionally, the OIC’s ability to influence global politics is often limited by the geopolitical interests of its members and the broader international community.
**Interviewer:** Erdogan mentioned the importance of the OIC in conflict resolution. In your opinion, how effective has the OIC been in mediating conflicts?
**Dr. Karaman:** The OIC has had mixed success in conflict mediation. There are instances where it has facilitated dialog, such as in the case of the Palestinian cause. However, in places like Syria or Yemen, its effectiveness has been undermined by a lack of consensus among member states. The OIC’s resolutions often depend on the political will of its members to act, which can be lacking.
**Interviewer:** How can the OIC enhance its role on the global stage, particularly in humanitarian crises?
**Dr. Karaman:** To enhance its role, the OIC needs to focus on building consensus and promoting collaboration among its members. It might also benefit from establishing partnerships with other international organizations. Strengthening its humanitarian response mechanisms and ensuring that aid reaches affected populations efficiently can help raise its profile as a serious global player.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, what do you think is needed for the OIC to fulfill its potential in fostering solidarity among Muslim nations?
**Dr. Karaman:** Strengthening trust and communication among member states is crucial. Moreover, there should be a focus on common interests rather than individual national agendas. Educational initiatives and cultural exchanges could foster greater solidarity, allowing member states to present a united front on key issues.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Karaman, for your insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the OIC today.
