Eight Islamic countries, including Pakistan, have joined forces to condemn Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip, as reported by the Dawn news outlet. In a joint statement issued by the Foreign Office, the ministers expressed their strongest condemnation of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region, which they deemed a clear breach of Israel's obligations under international law.
The statement highlighted the targeting of healthcare facilities and medical infrastructure, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and the continued loss of civilian lives as particularly egregious. The ministers emphasized that these actions undermined efforts to implement the second phase of the plan, especially after Palestinian factions had accepted the agreement.
They stressed that the protection of civilians, medical facilities, humanitarian and health workers, as well as the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid, were legal obligations that must not be compromised. The ministers also called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to compel Israel to fulfill its obligations under international law and hold those responsible for grave violations accountable.
