Israel’s decisive military victory over Muslim states in all of these wars led the Muslim nations to create a union, which is the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to strengthen their union and accordingly their position against Israel. While this approach proved sound in theory, this paper demonstrates that the OIC did not lead to a more secure environment between its members and Israel. The recent 2023 October Israeli attacks against Palestine also demonstrate, the number of conflicts and the intensity of the tension with Israel has not declined after OIC.}, number={11}, publisher={Akademik Düşünce Enstitüsü}
