Iran and Pakistan have strongly condemned “the ongoing Israeli regime’s aggression and atrocities against the Palestinian people, along with the inhumane blockade of Gaza that has resulted in widespread death and destruction as well as displacement of millions of Palestinians”.

In a statement by Pakistan’s foreign office (FO), the two countries “called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access to the besieged people of Gaza, return of the displaced Palestinians, as well as ensuring accountability of the crimes being committed by the Israeli regime”.

These remarks come in as the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi concludes his three-day visit in Pakistan. In a joint statement, they “reiterated their support for a just, comprehensive, and durable solution based on the aspirations of the people of Palestine”.
