ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan condemned the unprovoked massacre of many unarmed and innocent Palestinians in military strikes by the occupying Israeli forces.
The statement issued from the Foreign Office stated that the international community has the obligation to take cognizance of these aggressive actions, which are in violation of international law and international humanitarian law.
“Pakistan believes that a permanent solution of the Palestinian issue lies in the establishment of a viable, independent and contiguous state of Palestine, on the basis of internationally agreed parameters, the pre-1967 borders, and with Al-Quds Al Sharif as its Capital”, read the statement.
The situation escalated in Gaza early Tuesday after an Israeli airstrike killed Bahaa Abu al-Atta, a senior military commander of a Palestinian group, and his wife Asmaa.
Two days of fighting between Israel and the Palestinian group have left 34 Palestinians dead, including eight children and three women. More than 111 have been injured, including 46 children and 20 women.
