ISLAMABAD, Jul 4 (APP):Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday took Pakistan’s clear and blunt position regarding the situation i
n Palestine at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit and the SCO Plus Summit, stressing the international community to make Israel accountable and bring i
t to justice.
The prime minister, vigorously fighting the case of Gaza at the SCO and SCO Plus summits, said that Israel was involved in the g
enocide of Palestinians.
The International Court of Justice, he said, had also declared Israel’s heinous actions as g
enocide of the Palestinians.
“Israel is wreaking havoc in Gaza and committing war crimes,” the prime minister said . The international community should speed up its efforts for an immediate ceasefire and access of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Pakistan’s position was that all long-standing disputes should be resolved according to the United Nations resolutions, he added.
PM Shehbaz deplored that around 37,000 innocent people had been martyred i
n Palestine – most of whom were women and children, while over two millio
n Palestinians were displaced by Israel.
“Pakistan is in favour of a two-state solution to the Palestinian issue on the lines of pre-1967 borders with the establishment of a Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital,” he added.
