Islamabad: Pakistan has clarified its position on the situation of Israel and Palestine that we stand in solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine.
In a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), it has been said that Pakistan is deeply concerned about the ongoing violence and loss of life in Gaza. We stand in solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and call for an immediate ceasefire and lifting of the blockade in Gaza.
The statement added that Israel’s unjustified targeting of civilians in Gaza is against all principles of civilization and a flagrant violation of international law. Ending the violence needs to be seen in the context of years of usurping and illegal occupation of Palestinian land and oppressive policies against its people.
The statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office said that the United Nations and the international community should take action to open a safe and unrestricted humanitarian corridor for the transport of urgently needed aid supplies to besieged Gaza.
Pakistan is in close contact with the OIC and its member states on the rapidly deteriorating situation in Gaza. Foreign Minister Jalil Jilani will attend an emergency meeting of the OIC Executive Committee on October 18 and will call for immediate steps to alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza.
