A statement issued by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Office of the Spokesperson) stated: These attacks, launched on the eve of Eid al-Adha, constitute a blatant violation of international law, sovereignty of Lebanon, and the ceasefire agreement of November 2024.
Reckless use of force
The reckless use of force threatens civilian lives, fuels regional instability, and undermines efforts for lasting peace.
Pakistan stands in solidarity with the people and the Government of Lebanon, during this difficult time.
We urge the international community, particularly the United Nations and ceasefire mediators, to take immediate action to hold Israeli occupying forces accountable and prevent further escalation, the statement said.
Committed to peace
Pakistan remains firmly committed to peace, justice, and the principles of international law, it concluded.
