“Pakistan condemns the continued Israeli aggression in West Bank,” Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan told a media briefing in Islamabad.

“Latest Israeli military raid in the Jenin and Balata refugee camps of the West Bank resulting in the killing of a two-year[-old] toddler along with killing and injuring of several Palestinians is reprehensible and condemnable.

“We call on the international community to break its silence on continuous acts of brutality by Israel against innocent Palestinians,” the FO official added.
