In a statement issued on Sunday, OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu also urged the international community to put pressure on Israel to lift its siege of Gaza and hold the country responsible for all its illegitimate acts.
“The OIC cannot accept any report that would whitewash Israel's attack on the humanitarian flotilla and condone Israel's illegal blockade of Palestinian civilians,” the statement said.
“The UN’s report failed to reflect an objective and unbiased position,” Ihsanoglu added.
A recent UN report by former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer concluded that Israel's naval blockade of Gaza was a “legitimate security measure.” The report blamed Israeli troops for using excessive force after boarding the Freedom Flotilla.
The Israeli military attacked the Freedom Flotilla in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea on May 31, 2010, killing nine Turkish nationals aboard and injuring about 50 other activists who were part of the team on the six-ship flotilla.
The OIC chief expressed his support for Turkey's recently declared plans to take Israel to the International Criminal Court at The Hague over the incident. Turkey expelled Israel's ambassador and suspended all military agreements with Tel Aviv on Friday over its refusal to apologize for the deadly attack.
Ihsanoglu also called for implementing the resolution taken by the UN Human Rights Commission that had urged Israel to facilitate the arrival of humanitarian supplies such as food and medicine to Gaza.
