Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has strongly denounced the Israeli cabinet’s approval of a plan to unlawfully seize control of Gaza City.
In a statement on Friday, he called the move a dangerous escalation in an already devastating war against the Palestinian people. He warned that expanding military operations would deepen the humanitarian crisis and destroy any chance for regional peace.
Shehbaz stressed that the core cause of the ongoing tragedy is Israel’s prolonged and illegal occupation of Palestinian land, adding that peace will remain out of reach until the occupation ends.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s steadfast support for the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights — including self-determination and the creation of an independent state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital — he cited relevant UN and OIC resolutions.
He urged the international community to act immediately to stop Israel’s aggression, protect civilians, and ensure urgent humanitarian aid reaches Gaza.
