Incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan has said that it is “high time world leaders not only call for an immediate, total ceasefire but ensure its implementation” as well.

In a post on Imran’s X account which is handled by the PTI media team, Imran condemned Israel’s ongoing “genocide” in Gaza, adding that despite people across the world demanding an immediate ceasefire, the “powerful continue to remain unmoved”.

He said that “all humanitarian laws, laws of war, the UN Genocide Convention, the Geneva and Vienna Conventions continue to be violated with impunity by Israel.

“It is high time world leaders not only call for an immediate, total ceasefire but ensure its implementation also,” he said

“The Muslim leadership must take an effective lead as the people of Gaza are counting on the Ummah to speak up and act,” Imran added.
