Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination, Radio Pakistan reported.

Talking to outgoing Palestinian Ambassador Ahmed Jawad AA Rabei, in Islamabad, he strongly condemned Israel’s barbaric actions against innocent Palestinians in Gaza since October 7 that had led to the heart-wrenching killing of over 40,000 innocent Palestinians, including women and children, and more than 90,000 injured.

The Prime Minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s strong commitment and support for efforts to find a just and lasting resolution to the Palestine issue through a two-state solution with the creation of an independent state of Palestine with pre-1967 borders and Al Quds as its capital, in accordance with relevant UN resolutions.

The Palestinian Ambassador thanked Pakistan’s government for providing much-needed humanitarian assistance and offering scholarships to Palestinian medical students to complete their studies in Pakistan.
