Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has called for unity among all “like-minded” countries to put pressure on Israel to cease its assault on Gaza.
Addressing a march for Gaza in Islamabad, Rehman said, “The issue is not solved with talks alone.
“The day Arab countries, Turkiye, and all Muslim countries, as well as like-minded countries including Spain, Ireland, South Africa … announce, ‘If Israel attacks, we will attack Israel’ — then believe me, Netanyahu will not have the courage to take any action,” he said.
“If Hamas … can keep their hostages for two years, then why can’t these armies contribute?”
“What Hamas decides will be our decision, and the whole world should recognise Hamas,” he said.
