Islamabad (Web Desk): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday reiterated Pakistan’s demand for the international community to play its role to pressure Israel to stop oppression against the Palestinian people.
In his message on the International day of Al-Quds and Juma-tul-Wida, the premier strongly denounced the Israeli atrocities in Gaza.
He said that the entire Pakistani nation condemns the Zionist oppression and expressed solidarity with the suffering Palestinian people.
PM Shehbaz reiterated that Pakistan would continue its moral and diplomatic support to the people of Palestine until their liberation from the Zionist occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestine state as per pre-1967 borders.
He said that for the past seven decades, Israel had illegally occupied Palestine and Jerusalem and continuously violated international laws and human rights to maintain its occupation, while the international community acted as a silent spectator.
The premier said that the Israeli occupation and atrocities spanned over the last seven decades but its intensity increased manifolds since October last year.
“So far, 32,000 Palestinians, including 17,000 children, have been killed and 70,000 injured in Gaza. Hospitals, refugee camps and schools have been deliberately targeted. Despite the UN Security Council’s resolution for ceasefire, the unprovoked bombing of innocent civilians by Israel continues in Gaza,” PM Shehbaz said commented.
He reiterated Pakistan’s demand for the international community to play its role to pressure Israel to stop oppression against the Palestinian people.
PM Shehbaz urged the Muslims in Pakistan and all over the world, observing the last Friday of Holy Ramzan to specially pray for their Palestinian and Kashmiri brothers and sisters for their salvation from the atrocities.
He also appealed the nation to pray for the peace and security and development and prosperity of Pakistan on the occasion of Juma tul Wida.
