During a special address to the United Nations General Assembly on September 25, 2024, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly urged the international community to intervene in Israel’s actions in the occupied Palestinian territories. The Prime Minister described these actions as “genocidal acts,” calling for immediate intervention to prevent further bloodshed.
Sharif’s Stance on Palestinian Rights
PM Sharif reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering support for Palestinian rights, condemning the destruction of civilian infrastructure, illegal settlements, and the blockade of Gaza. He emphasized that these actions are not isolated incidents but part of a systematic campaign to displace Palestinians and erase their identity.
Call for Global Solidarity
The Prime Minister called for a collective global response, urging the UN to impose sanctions and adopt a resolution condemning Israel’s actions. Sharif also stressed the need for humanitarian aid, as thousands of Palestinians are facing dire conditions due to food and medical supply shortages.
Pakistan’s Role in Promoting Peace
PM Sharif pledged that Pakistan would continue to advocate for a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of an independent Palestinian state. He urged the Muslim world to unite and leverage their diplomatic influence to support the Palestinian cause.
