NA passes resolution, urges global action to end Israeli brutalities in Palestine

Islamabad: The National Assembly today unanimously passed a resolution calling upon the international community to take effective action to halt Israel’s oppression and brutalities in Palestine and deliver justice to the Palestinian people.

The resolution, moved by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, called on the United Nations Security Council to take effective measures to impose its call for a ceasefire in Gaza in order to stop the genocidal war being waged against Palestinian people.

The resolution also called for holding Israel accountable for its war crimes and crimes against humanity inflicted upon the Palestinian people.

The resolution called for immediate admission of the State of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations.

The House also called for sustainable and unhindered humanitarian assistance to the beleaguered Palestinians and immediate withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.

The resolution noted that the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has added to the anger and grief and that such incidents are seen as deliberate conspiracies to sabotage efforts to stop the ongoing oppression and brutality against Palestinians, and to establish peace in the region.

Strongly condemning extrajudicial and extraterritorial killings, the resolution said such incidents not only destroy the peace of the world, but also constitute a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region and undermine efforts for peace.

Expressing complete solidarity with the Palestinian people and the family of Ismail Haniyeh, the resolution denounced the ongoing state oppression and brutality by Israel in Palestine as a tragedy for the Muslim Ummah and the world.

At the outset, the House offered fateha for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran.

Meanwhile, members from both the treasury and opposition benches, in their speeches, strongly denounced Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.

Paying glowing tributes to the sacrifices of Palestinian people, they called upon the international community including the Muslim countries to take concrete steps to bring an end to the Israeli blatant human rights violations in Palestine.

Later, the House was adjourned to meet again on Monday at eleven-thirty am.
