ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday called upon the international community to ensure an immediate cessation of ceasefire violations by the Israeli occupation forces, which killed more than 100 people.
Gaza’s health ministry reported that at least 104 people were killed following Israeli air strikes on the Palestinian territory yesterday. The strikes came after Israel accused Hamas of violating the truce by killing a soldier—an allegation the group denied.
The renewed bombardment drew strong condemnation from Pakistan, one of eight Muslim nations that had previously collaborated with the United States on President Donald Trump’s peace plan.
“Pakistan strongly condemns the renewed attacks by the Israeli occupying forces in Gaza, which have reportedly resulted in civilian casualties,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.

“These actions constitute a clear and flagrant violation of international law, as well as a breach of the recently concluded peace agreement,” the Foreign Office said, warning that such “aggressive measures by the Israeli occupation forces threaten to undermine the international efforts aimed at establishing durable peace and stability in the region”.
“Pakistan calls upon the international community to ensure an immediate cessation of ceasefire violations by the Israeli occupation forces,” it added.
The statement reiterated Pakistan’s principled position for the establishment of an independent State of Palestine based on the pre-June 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital.
“At least 101 fatalities were brought to hospitals, including 35 children and a number of women and elderly, as a result of Israeli air strikes in less than 12 hours,” said Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for Gaza’s civil defence agency.
“The Israeli strikes targeted tents for displaced people, homes and the vicinity of a hospital in the Strip,” Bassal told AFP. The agency’s toll was confirmed by an AFP tally of reports from medical officials at five Gaza hospitals that received the dead and wounded.
Gaza’s main Al-Shifa Hospital reported that one of the air strikes hit its backyard.
Al-Awda Hospital said it had received several bodies, including those of four children, following the bombing of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
During a trip to Asia, the US president defended the actions of its longtime ally Israel, saying, “They killed an Israeli soldier. So the Israelis hit back. And they should hit back.”
Qatar has played a key mediating role in indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas since the war erupted in October 2023. It is also one of the guarantors of the fragile peace agreement, alongside the United States, Egypt, and Turkiye.
