The National Assembly of Pakistan has adopted a resolution condemning the ongoing Israeli “state oppression and brutality” in Gaza.

The resolution was presented by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, who said the document had been prepared with all parties’ consensus.

The resolution, which Dar read out on the NA floor, stated that Haniyeh’s killing in Tehran has “added to the angst and grief, and such incidents are seen as deliberate conspiracies to sabotage efforts to stop” the ongoing Gaza conflict and to establish peace in the region.

It noted that “atrocities by Israel on Palestinians have escalated, causing immense suffering and loss of over 40,000 innocent lives so far, including women and children”.

The resolution highlighted that “all parliamentary parties of the National Assembly expressed their unified grief and anger over the ongoing Israeli oppression and brutality against the people of Palestine for the past nine months”.
