Pakistan has been urging the international community and intervene to save the Palestinian massacre. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks during the past two weeks, and Western nations have done little to denounce the atrocities.
The United Nations General Assembly will meet urgently later this week to address the “grave deterioration” of the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which includes East Jerusalem, according to a spokeswoman for the 193-member body’s representative.
