Pakistan voices concern over unfolding situation in Middle East
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch says we are concerned about the human cost of the escalating situation.
Islamabad: Pakistan said it is closely monitoring the unfolding situation in the Middle East, and the eruption of hostilities between Israel and Palestinians.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said we are concerned about the human cost of the escalating situation.
She said Pakistan has consistently advocated for a two-state solution as the key to enduring peace in the Middle East, with a just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the Palestinian question anchored in international law and in line with relevant United Nations and OIC resolutions.
She said a viable, sovereign and contiguous State of Palestine should be established on the basis of pre-1967 borders, with Al Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
The spokesperson said we call on the international community to come together for the cessation of hostilities, protection of civilians and for a lasting peace in the Middle East.
