Pakistan has strongly condemned recent statements by the Israeli occupying power, expressing its intention to forcibly displace Palestinians from their land.
In a statement on Saturday, Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said such actions are a clear violation of international law and a deliberate attempt to sabotage efforts for achieving peace and stability in the region. He said forced displacement and continued expansion of illegal settlements reflect Israel's disregard for international human rights and humanitarian law.
The FO Spokesperson called upon the international community to play its role in addressing the humanitarian plight of the civilians and to hold Israel accountable.
Pakistan reaffirms its unwavering support for the Palestinian people in their just struggle for self-determination and for a sovereign, independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
