Pakistan has called for holding Israel accountable for its military campaign in Gaza. In a weekly press briefing in Islamabad, Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to impose a ceasefire and lift the “inhumane siege” in the enclave.

“Deliberate attacks against civilian targets constitute crimes against humanity and war crimes,” she said.

“Israel’s war on hospitals and the ongoing atrocities go against the spirit of provisional measures decided by the International Court of Justice to protect the people of Gaza,” she said.
