UN asked to revoke Israel’s membership

E-Paper | May 05, 2026

KARACHI: An all-party conference on Palestine on Monday called upon the United Nations to revoke the membership of Israel for its aggression on unarmed civilians in Gaza.

The demand came in a resolution at the conference titled “A clarion call from bleeding Al Quds” held under the aegis of the Palestine Liberation Foundation (PLF) Pakistan.

Those who spoke at the APC included Pakistan Peoples Party leader Senator Taj Haider, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Salim Zia, Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s Ali Raza Abidi, Majlis Wahdat-i-Msulimeen’s Allama Amin Shaheedi and Allama Sadiq Raza Taqvi, Jamaat-i-Islami’s Muzaffar Hashmi, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s Shamim Firdous Naqvi and others.

The leaders agreed that Israel was an illegitimate state that was imposed on Palestine by global imperialism.

They called for a united stand of Islamic states against the fresh brutality of Israel.

@Muslim You first got to find a good Gaza person to begin with.........But after this its very possible that many Palestinians will be cheering Israel for bombing Hamas. If they had any sense to begin with.

@Zulfiqar " Hamas is elected government by palestinians." Hitler's Nazi Party was also elected by Germans and Germans paid the ultimate price for their stupidity. So, will Hamas which , by no means, represents all Palestinians!

Interesting that there is no comment or action from the Saudis. It proves that they are western puppets. The Saudi rulers should be deposed. A revolution is required. Saudis Arabia does not require kings or princesses who loot it's wealth and moral and ethical compass.

Does anyone in the entire world has the power to implement the resolution? Unfortunately not. However, salute to all those who at least showed the guts and grit to table the resolution and get it approved, something which none of the current corrupt governments of the 58 member ICC countries could do. What a great tragedy?
