(New Desk) Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has condemned the Israeli barbarism in Gaza as the war continues to make the lives of Gazans unlivable, said the PM in his speech at the Arab Summit on Monday.
He highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Gaza had reached a level beyond imagination as for over one year, the occupied Palestinian territories have fallen in endless darkness and despair as countless families have been devastated.”
He questioned how long humanity should shut its eyes with hospital blown up and even infants are not spared.
The PM said these atrocities have, rightfully, been labelled as genocide not just by the media but also by the International court.
He said with every passing day, every moral code has been violated by Israel yet the killing has been ongoing without any end in sight.
How long will this annihilation be ignored? Israel has been emboldened by the inaction of international community, he pointed out.
Pakistan called for the following at the summit
An immediate and unconditional ceasefire
Impose an immediate arms embargo on Israel
Lifting Israel’s blockade of Gaza and ensuring the prompt delivery of food, water, electricity and medical aid
Accountability for Israel’s alleged war crimes
The adoption of UNGA resolution 10/24
A comprehensive review of Israel’s membership in the UN
“Let this summit be a moment to transform our voices into actions,” the PM said. “Together, we must move beyond condemnation and act swiftly to uphold justice and dignity for the people of Palestine and all those who face oppression.”
“May our unity today be the dawn of Palestine’s freedom,” he prayed.
