NEW YORK: Pakistan has welcomed the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2728, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan and emphasizing the urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance to and reinforce the protection of civilians in the entire Gaza Strip.
In a brief statement, Ambassador Munir Akram, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, called for the immediate implementation of this UNSC resolution in accordance with Article 25 of the UN Charter.
Terming this as the first step in halting Israel’s brutal campaign in Gaza, Ambassador Akram said that Pakistan would continue to work actively for a just, comprehensive and durable solution through the establishment of a secure, viable, contiguous and sovereign State of Palestine on the basis of the pre-June 1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
