PML-N Senator Ishaq Dar has lamented the lack of “meaningful action” against Israel’s aggression in besieged Gaza. “The details coming forth, we strongly condemn the relentless bombardment in the Palestinian enclave which has claimed over 8,000 lives.”

The former finance minister said the Israeli army had blocked supplies of food, water and energy, resulting in massive difficulties for Palestinians.

He also criticised Israel’s ultimatum to vacate hospitals in North Gaza. “This is one of the most terrible incidents in history, I believe these unparallel barbaric actions are unseen in history,” Dar said, highlighting that Pakistan should make efforts on relevant forums as a Muslim nation.
