Pa-kistan on Wednesday emphasised that Israel must bring an im-mediate end to its campaign of terror with an immediate cea-sefire, and lifting the siege of Gaza. Caretaker Foreign Mi-nister Jalil Abbas Jilani, who led the Pakistan delegation to the urgent open-ended Minis-terial Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation held in Jeddah, also condemned Tuesday’s massacre of innocent civilians in the vicious Israeli attack on a hospital in Gaza.
The meeting was co-convened by Pakistan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to discuss the crisis in Gaza and the humani-tarian situation of the be-sieged civilians there. In his statement, the Foreign Minister Jilani strongly denounced the Israeli aggression and inhumane blockade of Gaza that resulted in death, destruction and displacement. He underscored that the Israeli occupation forces were in clear violation of international humanitarian and human rights law. Their indiscriminate and dis-proportionate use of force amounted to war crimes and crimes against humanity, he added.
