(IsraelNN.com) A group of 57 Muslim countries meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia has agreed to step up pressure and try to force Israel to stop archaeological digging near the Temple Mount. The Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) continued to accuse Israel of endangering the Al Aksa mosque on the holy site.

"In light of the positive developments in Palestine and formation of the national unity government, the international embargo against Palestinians has no justification," said Ekmel Al Deen Ihsanoglu, Secretary-General of the OIC.

He called on the 57-member states to provide financial and moral support to Jerusalem Arabs and the Palestinian Authority (PA).
