ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called upon all sides to de-escalate hostilities in the Middle East and work for restoring peace in the region.
In a statement, the Foreign Office said that Pakistan was deeply concerned over the escalating hostilities tension in the region.
“In recent months, Israel has increasingly acted in violation of international law and the UN Charter resulting in grave humanitarian crisis. Israel has endangered regional peace and security with the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The recent invasion of Lebanon has further intensified these tensions, affecting the lives of innocent civilians,” said a statement.
The people of Palestine, Lebanon, and the wider region deserve to live free from fear and violence. It is crucial for all sides to step back from the brink and for the international community to take swift action to de-escalate the situation. The prevailing culture of impunity and disregard for international law must be addressed urgently.
Pakistan reiterates its call for the UN Security Council to uphold peace and security in the region, safeguard Lebanon’s sovereignty, and put an end to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Pakistan has consistently advocated for a two-state solution as the key to enduring peace in the Middle East with a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian question, anchored in international law and in line with the relevant UN and OIC resolutions.
