Pakistan Condemns Israeli Actions in West Bank and Al-Aqsa Mosque

Islamabad: Pakistan has strongly condemned the continuing violations by the Israeli occupying forces and extremist settlers against the Palestinian people in the occupied West Bank, including repeated storming of the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and provocations against worshippers.

According to Radio Pakistan, in a statement, the Foreign Office said such actions constitute a blatant violation of international law and the relevant UN resolutions. The statement further emphasized the necessity of ensuring the sanctity of the holy sites in accordance with international law and the historical status quo.

Pakistan has called upon the international community to take urgent and effective measures to ensure the protection of holy sites, prevent further settler violence and incursions, and uphold relevant UN resolutions. The statement underscored the importance of preventing further escalations and maintaining peace in the region.

Reiterating its stance, Pakistan supports a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace based on the two-State solution. This solution envisions the establishment of an independent, sovereign, viable, and contiguous State of Palestine, based on pre-June 1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
