Pakistan expressed its “deep concern” for Gaza on Monday and demanded that the killings in Palestine be understood within the “context of years of illegal occupation.”
Acting Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar said, “Israel’s deliberate, indiscriminate, and disproportionate targeting of civilians in Gaza is against all norms of civility and in manifest violation of international law.”
The X speaker assessed the latest violent episode in light of years of illegitimate occupation of Palestinian territory and severe measures against its people. Pakistan’s prime minister encouraged the UN and international community to “swiftly create safe humanitarian routes for urgently needed relief supplies to reach Gaza.” “We demand an immediate cease-fire and the lifting of the blockade in Gaza in solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine,” Kakar said.
She also said Pakistan’s foreign minister, Jalil Abbas Jilani, would attend the OIC emergency meeting. After 10 days of fighting with Hamas, Israeli bombardment and the Gaza closure caused over a million Palestinians, or half the population, to flee. Petrol shortages, food, water, medicine, and power outages are humanitarian crises. Palestinians are moving south due to Israeli threats.
Since October 7, Hamas has attacked Israel from the air, sea, and land during the Al-Aqsa Flood. The statement said the action was a reprisal for Zionist attacks and Al-Aqsa mosque plunder.
Israeli forces assaulted Gazan Hamas positions in Operation Swords of Iron. Israel bombed Gaza, killing 2,750, including 750 children. More than 1,300 Israelis were killed.
