Pakistan will mark October 7, 2024, as Solidarity Day with the Palestinian people, reaffirming the country’s commitment to supporting Palestine in its struggle for independence. The decision was announced by the federal government, which called on all Pakistanis to participate in activities and events that express solidarity with Palestinians suffering under occupation.
The day will be observed across the country, with demonstrations, speeches, and cultural events aimed at raising awareness about the plight of the Palestinian people. Schools, universities, and religious institutions will hold special sessions to educate students and the public about the history of the Palestinian struggle and the ongoing challenges faced by the region.
The government has also urged the international community to take stronger actions in pressuring Israel to end its occupation and recognize the legitimate rights of Palestinians. Pakistan has a long-standing policy of supporting the two-state solution, advocating for an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
This year’s Solidarity Day comes at a particularly tense time, with escalating violence in Gaza and the West Bank. Pakistan’s foreign policy towards the Palestinian cause has always been rooted in its commitment to justice and human rights, and the country has consistently called for an end to Israeli aggression.
Solidarity Day not only serves as a reminder of Pakistan’s unwavering support for Palestine but also acts as a rallying point for the Muslim world to unite in the face of oppression. The event will feature key political and religious leaders, who will address large crowds in major cities across the country. The day is expected to be marked with peaceful protests, seminars, and fundraising efforts for Palestinian refugees.
