ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday condemned a recent Israeli airstrike that killed several civilians in Gaza, demanding the world take “decisive action” to hold the Jewish state accountable.
The statement came two days after Gaza’s civil defense agency said at least 34 people, including more than a dozen civilians who were waiting to collect aid, were killed by Israeli fire.
Pakistan’s Foreign Office said the country strongly condemns the Israeli airstrike and extends its condolences to families of the victims, reaffirming its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people.
“This egregious attack constitutes yet another serious violation of international humanitarian and human rights law, underscoring the scale and severity of the crimes perpetrated by the occupying power,” it said in a statement.
“The Government of Pakistan calls upon the international community to take immediate and decisive action to end Israeli impunity, ensure the protection of civilians, and hold Israel accountable for its actions.”
