Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan has said, “We urge international community to develop a concrete plan for the reconstruction of Gaza in line with UNSC resolutions.”

Speaking at the weekly press briefing in Islamabad, he called for the accountability of Israeli crimes committed in this “brutal war”, calling it an essential element in restoring international legitimacy.

Welcoming the ceasefire deal, he reiterated Pakistan’s support for a two-state solution.

The FO spokesperson also condemned the recent Israeli raid in the Jenin refugee camp of West Bank which resulted in the killing of 10 Palestinians. He said, “Such actions potentially undermine the precarious ceasefire in Gaza and the international community should take note of it.”
