Pakistan demands protection of Palestinian rights and an end to violence at the United Nations
Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations has expressed deep concern over the ongoing tensions and Israeli operations in Gaza. Pakistan has called upon the international community to play its role in immediately halting the ongoing violence against Palestinians.
According to reports, despite the US-brokered ceasefire in October last year, Israeli operations have continued. As a result of these incidents, more than 1,400 Palestinians have lost their lives so far, which has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the region.
Pakistan maintains that the Palestinian people have the right to their own sovereign state and that the protection of their fundamental human rights is a global responsibility. The Pakistani representative emphasized that the violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers is a blatant violation of international law, which must be stopped immediately.
This demand by Pakistan on the global stage comes at a time when the provision of humanitarian aid and the establishment of peace in Gaza have become major challenges. Pakistan has reiterated its support for a two-state solution for permanent peace in order to bring lasting stability to the region.
The purpose of Pakistan raising this issue at a global forum is to be the voice of the Palestinian people and to remind global powers of their responsibilities. Pakistan believes that only a just solution can guarantee lasting peace in the Middle East.
