Islamabad 4 July 2023 (WAI): Pakistan vehemently condemns the recent raids and airstrikes conducted by the Israeli occupation forces in Jenin, located in the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank.
These merciless acts of aggression have resulted in the tragic loss of 10 Palestinian lives and left approximately 50 others injured. This escalating violence against the oppressed people of Palestine must cease without delay.
Pakistan urgently appeals to the international community to acknowledge its responsibility in ending the brutal and unlawful actions perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces. It is imperative to protect the fundamental human rights of the Palestinian people, who endure unimaginable suffering under the yoke of occupation.
The Government of Pakistan reiterates its unwavering support for the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people, who aspire to realize their rights and freedoms in their entirety, including the sacred right to self-determination. Pakistan stands firmly in solidarity with the Palestinian cause, recognizing the inherent injustice inflicted upon them.
Furthermore, Pakistan renewed its call to establish a viable, independent, and contiguous Palestinian State, based on the pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif (Jerusalem) as its capital. This solution aligns with the pertinent resolutions of the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which reflect the international consensus on the Palestinian issue.
