Islamabad (Web Desk): Pakistan has called for holding Israel accountable for its actions and urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to take immediate effective action to impose a ceasefire and lift the inhumane siege against Gaza.
At her weekly media briefing in Islamabad on Thursday, Foreign Officer (FO) Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Pakistan remains deeply concerned over the ongoing campaign of brutality and large-scale massacre unleashed upon the Palestinian people.
“We strongly condemn Israel's ongoing war on hospitals and its barbarous bulldozing of tents in the courtyard and vicinity of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza that crushed to death numerous Palestinians including women, children and wounded patients under treatment,” the FO spokesperson said.
She said that the crimes against humanity in occupied Palestine are a haunting stain on the conscience of humanity.
The FO spokesperson said Pakistan is also deeply concerned over the recent statements made by senior Israeli officials, rejecting the creation of a viable and independent Palestinian state.
“Such statements, especially the comments on the "Oslo Accords", reflect the true intentions of the Israeli occupation authorities, their disregard for international law and commitments and rejection of a just resolution of the Palestinian question,” Mumtaz Baloch said.
“Pakistan firmly believes that the only just solution to the Palestinian question is the creation of an independent, viable, sovereign and contiguous Palestinian State along pre-June 1967 borders with Al-Quds-Al-Sharif as its capital,” The FO spokesperson stated.
