Pakistan calls OIC to take immediate actions over Israeli aggression in Palestine

Foreign Minister while addressing the forum on the latest situation in Palestine said that the indiscriminate use of force by Israeli forces against defenceless Palestinians is tantamount to grave violations of principles underpinned in international law, including international humanitarian and human rights law.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi thought that innocent Palestinians were being martyred by the Israeli bombardment on Gaza.

“Pakistan is appalled by the sheer magnitude of illegal, disproportionate and indiscriminate use of force, tyranny and injustice being perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces against defenceless Palestinians.

There are no words strong enough to condemn the systematic and barbaric crimes against the Palestinians. The deteriorating conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories due to the illegal practices of Israel, its colonial policies, and its continued aggression, siege and collective punishment, are sickening,”

He further stated that all possible steps should be taken to stop the Israeli aggression on the Palestinians and the international community should end the illegal use of force against the Palestinians and the bombing of Gaza should be stopped instantly.

He said that Pakistan supports the right of Palestinians to self-determination and recommended a two-state solution for Palestine.

FM Qureshi clarified, “I also reiterate Pakistan’s support for a two-state solution in accordance with the relevant United Nations and OIC resolutions, with the pre-1967 borders, and Al-Quds Al-Shareef as the capital of a viable, independent and contiguous Palestinian State.”

He urged OIC to take all possible steps to stop Israeli aggression.
