April 16, 2004 | KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- The world's largest Islamic organization will hold an urgent meeting next week to discuss rising violence in Iraq and the recent U.S. policy shift on Israel's withdrawal from the Palestinian territories.

Malaysia, the chair of the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference, said Friday it expects foreign ministers and members of various OIC committees dealing with Iraq and the Palestinians to attend the extraordinary meeting on Thursday, though officials said the exact number of participants was not confirmed.


In a statement carried by the Bernama national news agency, Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said the meeting's main purpose would be to "discuss current developments pertaining to the Palestine issue, particularly the recent Israeli plan for unilateral withdrawal from Gaza and parts of the West Bank.''

It would also "seize the opportunity to discuss the deteriorating situation in Iraq,'' Bernama reported.
