Muslim countries can propose to the UN Security Council to stop the Israeli attacks, he told a press conference held on the sidelines of a charity concert to raise funds for the Palestinian people.
According to him, Muslim countries can also propose sanctions on Israel to the Security Council for violating human rights in Gaza Strip.
"The Israeli attacks on Gaza Strip are one of human rights violations and they (Israel) must be brought to the international court of justice," he said.
