ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly denounced massacre by Israeli forces of unarmed Palestinians who were seeking food delivery in Gaza.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, in her weekly media briefing in Islamabad on Friday, said this massacre shows an open disregard for international humanitarian law and Israel’s deliberate and inhuman policy of mass starvation.
She added that Pakistan reaffirmed its call for immediate and urgent ceasefire, lifting of the inhuman siege and unimparted access of humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza.
The Spokesperson said Israel must be held accountable for its crime against humanity being perpetrated with impunity against the people of Palestine.
Expressing her views on the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Pakistan condemns the decision by Indian authorities to ban the Muslim Conference Jammu and Kashmir Bhat Faction and Muslim Conference Jammu and Kashmir Sumji Faction while extending the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir for five more years.
She went on to say that these oppressive measures reflect a malicious intent by India to suppress freedom of expression in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir in complete disrespect of international human rights and humanitarian law.
