Key Points:
- Pakistan’s Firm Stance on Palestine:
- National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq reiterated Pakistan’s unequivocal condemnation of Israeli aggression in Gaza.
- Pakistan’s support for Palestine is principled, historic, and central to its foreign policy—rooted in Quaid-e-Azam’s stance against Israel’s creation.
- Call for International Action:
- The global community must move beyond rhetoric and take concrete steps to ensure accountability.
- Muslim nations must unite, leveraging their resources, public sentiment, and moral authority to amplify their voice.
- Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza:
- Over 42,000 Palestinians killed (including 13,300 children) and 97,000+ injured since October 7, 2024.
- Deliberate attacks on civilians, including a UN-run clinic in Jabalia, constitute war crimes and ethnic cleansing.
- Violations of International Law:
- Israel’s illegal seizure of Palestinian land (e.g., Morag Corridor) and forced displacement violate UN resolutions.
- South Africa’s case at the ICJ against Israel marks a crucial legal step—court rulings demand an end to occupation and reparations.
- Decades of Injustice:
- Palestinians have been denied self-determination for over 70 years despite UN resolutions.
- The conflict is not just political but a humanitarian catastrophe—a “modern-day genocide” testing global morality.
Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq’s address underscores Pakistan’s unwavering solidarity with Palestine, condemning Israel’s atrocities as both a legal and moral failure of the international community. He calls for Muslim unity and decisive global intervention to halt oppression, enforce justice, and uphold Palestinian rights. The staggering civilian toll and systematic violations demand urgent accountability—lest history judge this era for its silence in the face of genocide.
