“We also welcome the Security Council’s call for allowing free flow of humanitarian assistance to Gaza, lifting of all barriers to the provision of humanitarian assistance, and ensuring protection of civilians in the entire Gaza Strip,” the Foreign Office Spokesperson said in a statement.
Over the past six months, Pakistan has made it clear that it condemns Israel’s indiscriminate use of force. It has also called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, unhindered humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza, the return of the Palestinian refugees, and the establishment of accountability for Israel’s crimes, which it has committed with impunity.
“We hope that this will serve as a first step towards ending Israel’s brutal onslaught, ensuring a permanent ceasefire, and helping address the prevailing grave humanitarian situation in Gaza,” she added, calling for the swift implementation of the Security Council resolution voted today.
As for the formation of a safe, sustainable, contiguous, and sovereign State of Palestine on the basis of the pre-June 1967 boundaries, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, the spokesperson continued, “Pakistan will continue to voice its support for a just, comprehensive, and durable solution.”
