ISLAMABAD: The lower house of Pakistan’s parliament on Wednesday passed a resolution reaffirming support for the people of Palestine, condemning the Israeli military’s actions and Tel Aviv’s reported plans to take complete control of Gaza, state-run media reported.
Israel has killed over 61,000 Palestinians in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, in several military operations, drawing condemnations and outrage from nations across the world, including Pakistan.
Mediation between Israel and Palestine’s Hamas has collapsed despite intense international pressure for a ceasefire to ease hunger and appalling conditions in the besieged Palestinian territory.
“The House passed a resolution reaffirming Pakistan’s historic and unwavering support for Palestinian people and their struggle for freedom, dignity and justice,” state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported.
The state media said the resolution was presented in the National Assembly by lawmaker Shazia Marri, who expressed concerns over the “continuing and escalating Israeli military aggression in Gaza,” which she said has resulted in the killing of civilians and widespread destruction of homes.
