Islamabad: Pakistan has strongly condemned the deadly Israeli airstrikes on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, which claimed the lives of at least twenty-one individuals, including four journalists and a rescue worker.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said this unconscionable and heinous attack on a medical facility, as well as the continued targeting of civilians and journalists, represents a grave violation of international human rights and humanitarian law, as well as freedom of the press.
The spokesperson reiterated Pakistan’s call on the international community to hold Israel accountable for such heinous crimes and to take concrete steps towards ending Israel’s impunity.
He said Pakistan also condemns in the strongest possible terms the Israeli occupying forces’ incursion into the Syrian Arab Republic in contravention of international law and principles of the UN Charter.
He said Pakistan expresses its full support for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Syria, and calls on the international community to prevent Israel from undermining the peace and stability of the entire region.
