Turkish news agency Anadolu qouted Ankara's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu as saying, "If the occupying power [Israel] crosses the red line, we [Muslim countries] must show that this will have consequences."
The OIC is an international organization consisting of 57 member-states spread over four continents, with 53 countries being Muslim-majority countries.
According to Channel 12 News, Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad Malki told OIC members that "the Israeli annexation of Palestinian land must not be completed, it must be prevented."
Malki urged the OIC to use its influence to prevent the annexation, which "would cause the vanishing of the two-state solution," Channel 12 News said.
He further warned that "the conflict would turn from political to religious. The stability in the region would be undermined."
However, in what may turn out as a significant turn of events, the PA's foreign minister added that the Palestinians "are ready for negotiations."
