We strongly condemn the Israeli cabinet’s approval of a plan to take illegal & illegitimate control of Gaza City: PM Shehbaz
Says Pakistan reiterates its unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people
ISLAMABAD ( WEB NEWS )
Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif says we strongly condemn the Israeli cabinet’s approval of a plan to take illegal and illegitimate control of Gaza City. This tantamounts to a dangerous escalation in an already catastrophic war against the people of Palestine.
In a statement issued on X on Friday, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that this expansion of military operations will only worsen the already existing humanitarian crisis and derail any prospect for peace in the region.
PM Shehbaz Sharif said that we must not lose sight of the root cause of this ongoing tragedy: that is Israel’s prolonged, illegal occupation of Palestinian territory. As long as this occupation endures, peace will remain elusive.
He said that Pakistan reiterates its unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, in line with relevant UN and OIC resolutions.
PM Shehbaz Sharif said that we call upon the international community to intervene urgently to bring an immediate halt to Israel’s unwarranted aggression, ensure the protection of innocent civilians, and ensure the direly needed delivery of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.
Pakistan condemns the reported Israeli plan for a complete military takeover of Gaza
FO Spokesperson says Pak reiterates its call on the int’l community to ensure an immediate end to Israeli impunity
Pakistan has condemned in the strongest possible terms the reported Israeli plan for a complete military takeover of Gaza.
According to the statement issued by Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan, this not only represents yet another flagrant violation of international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions, but also the occupying power’s intention to further expand its ongoing genocidal military campaign.
FO spokesperson said that this highly escalatory action will further aggravate the prevailing grave humanitarian situation and suffering of the civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, in addition to undermining international efforts aimed at achieving peace and stability in the region.
He said that Pakistan reiterates its call on the international community to ensure an immediate end to Israeli impunity and its genocidal military campaign; take concrete measures for the provision of unimpeded humanitarian supplies to millions of Palestinians in dire need; and hold Israel accountable for its heinous crimes.
