              2. Condemns <\/strong>Israel’s continuing attacks on multiple Syrian military and civilian sites, constituting both an assault on a sovereign state and a violation of international law.

The resolution demands that Israel immediately rescind this decision.<\/li>\n

              7. Also calls upon <\/strong>Israel to desist from imposing Israeli citizenship and Israeli identity cards on Syrian citizens in the occupied Syrian Golan, from its repressive measures against them, and from all other practices that impede their enjoyment of their fundamental rights, including civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights, some of which were referred to in the report of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories.<\/li>\n
              8. Also calls upon <\/strong>Israel to allow Syrian residents of the occupied Syrian Golan to visit their families and relatives in Syria through the Quneitra crossing, under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and to rescind its decision to prohibit such visits, as it constitutes a flagrant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.<\/li>\n
              9. Demands <\/strong>that Israel cease its repressive measures against Syrian citizens in the occupied Syrian Golan and immediately release Syrian detainees in Israeli prisons.<\/li>\n
              10. Decides <\/strong>that all legislative and administrative measures and procedures taken or to be taken by Israel, the occupying Power, including the Knesset decision of November 22, 2010 to hold a general referendum prior to any withdrawal from the occupied Syrian Golan and East Al-Quds, aimed at changing the character and legal status of the occupied Syrian Golan, are null and void, constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, and have no legal effect.<\/li>\n
              11. Once again calls upon <\/strong>UN Member States not to recognize any of the legislative or administrative measures referred to above.<\/li>\n
              12.

              14. Requests <\/strong>the OIC Secretary-General to draw the attention of all governments, specialized agencies, international and regional governmental organizations, and international humanitarian organizations to this resolution, to disseminate it as widely as possible, and to submit a report on this matter to the next meeting of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
