REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BEIJING -- Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League called on the UN Security Council to adopt a firm resolution on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

“What we convey is certainly our hope to the UNSC (United Nations Security Council), there have been resolutions but the resolution is not comprehensive and we express our hope to the P5 countries (permanent members of the UN Security Council) to do more as the situation worsens,” Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said on Monday (20/11/2023).
