Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has said that Israel’s aggression “represents a dangerous escalation and is a serious threat to peace and stability, not only to the region but to the wider world as well”.

“Israeli aggression against Iran is not an isolated event. It is part of a dangerous and consistent pattern of militarism that Israel has demonstrated across the Middle East,” Dar noted.

“I hope that the meeting today will not only express our unwavering solidarity with our brotherly country Iran but also send a clear message that Israel must be held accountable and that its reckless aggression cannot be allowed to jeopardise the peace of the entire region,” he concluded.
