Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday said Israel continues to massacre innocent Palestinians with impunity and expressed support for the people of Palestine. “Pakistan stands with the people of Palestine,” he said in a tweet.
Shehbaz said killing of 10 Palestinians including an elderly woman in Occupied West Bank called for the strongest condemnation. He stressed sustainable peace in the Middle East, saying that it was linked to two-state solution.
The Foreign Office in a statement called upon the international
community to assume its responsibility in bringing these illegal incursions and actions by the Israeli occupation forces to a halt and ensuring adequate protection of the human rights of the Palestinian people.
“Pakistan reiterates its strong and unwavering support to the legitimate
struggle of the Palestinian people for full realization of their fundamental rights including the right to self- determination,” the Foreign Office statement said.
The Foreign Office said, “The government and the people of Pakistan extended sincere heartfelt condolences to the families of victims and best wishes for full and swift recovery of the injured in this brutal attack.” It said Pakistan renewed its call for a viable, independent and contiguous Palestinian State, with pre-1967 borders and Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, in accordance with the relevant United Nations and OIC resolutions.
