Islamabad: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned Israel’s attempt to extend its so-called “sovereignty” over parts of the Occupied West Bank, including illegal settlements, through a draft law introduced in the Israeli legislature.
Terming the move a blatant violation of international law, relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, Pakistan said such provocative and unlawful actions jeopardize efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region.
Islamabad urged the international community to take immediate and decisive measures to stop these illegal steps and hold the Israeli occupying forces accountable for their persistent violations of international law.
Reaffirming its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, Pakistan reiterated its commitment to work with regional and international partners to safeguard the rights of the Palestinian people — including their right to self-determination — and to ensure peace, justice, and dignity.
Pakistan once again emphasized its consistent stance for the establishment of an independent, sovereign, viable, and contiguous State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
