PML-N leader and former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif has slammed Israel for “indulging in the worst crimes against humanity with absolutely no consequences for its actions”.

“The principal proof of the Israeli war crimes is the killing over 4000 Palestinian children in cold blood. This is the largest number of children killed in one year than in all the recent conflicts put together,” he wrote in a post on X.

“The deafening silence of those advocating Israel’s ‘right to self-defence’, as innocent Palestinian children are being massacred on daily basis, is heart-breaking,” Shehbaz added.
