Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has said that while the International Court of Justice might have termed the Israeli bombardment in Gaza as “plausible genocide”, it was clear that it was “genocide”.

“What Israel is doing with unprecedented impunity […] is more than just adventurism. It is pure madness,” Dar said while addressing an executive committee meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

“The oppressor is acting as if it has total freedom to break and bend the international law and norms and liberty,” he said.

“Can any sane mind, any conscienable nation, any responsible government or state condone or turn a blind eye to what Israel has done and continues to do,” Dar added.
