Pakistan has rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stance against the establishment of a Palestinian state, stating that such a move is in accordance with international law and UN resolutions. Foreign Ministry spokesman Tahir Andrabi emphasized that the statehood of Palestine is legally established and that Israeli objections cannot change this reality. Andrabi dismissed remarks to the contrary as meaningless, asserting that they hold no weight in the established international legality.
Regarding Netanyahu's refusal to withdraw Israeli forces from Gaza, Andrabi described this as a serious setback to the decision made at the Board of Peace. He highlighted that the disarmament of Hamas and the evacuation of Gaza by Israeli troops were twin commitments, and Pakistan hopes that Israel will adhere to its commitments.
