The Foreign Office has termed Israel’s crimes in Palestine a “haunting stain on the conscience of humanity”.

In a weekly conference, FO Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch told reporters that Pakistan remained deeply concerned over the “ongoing campaign of brutality and large-scale massacre unleashed on the Palestinian people”.

She emphasised that Pakistan continues to support international efforts to bring an end to Israel’s hostilities against the Palestinian people. Baloch added that the country would attend the consultative conference on Palestine, scheduled to take place in Tehran in two days.
