Atrocities in Gaza
According to Radio Pakistan, the two leaders strongly condemned Israel’s ongoing atrocities in Gaza and expressed grave concern over the deepening humanitarian catastrophe, including starvation, forced displacement, and loss of innocent lives.
Expressing support for the Palestinian people and their cause, they hoped for meaningful outcomes from the international conference on the implementation of the two-state solution, being held on Monday at the United Nations.

Humanitarian crisis
Both leaders discussed the grave humanitarian crisis in Gaza impacting millions of Palestinians.
The deputy prime minster reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people and called for immediate and unhindered humanitarian access.
They also exchanged views regarding high-level Iranian visit to Pakistan in the near future.
Right to self-determination
On Sunday, Ishaq Dar said Pakistan fully support Palestinians’ right to self-determination — specifically, the establishment of an independent and contiguous state of Palestine with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, based on the pre-1967 borders.
In an interview with Arab News, Dar said, “Our stance has been consistently clear, and we adhere to it with unwavering commitment. We have openly condemned the oppressor and consistently called for accountability.”
