How many Palestinian children have to be killed to address Israeli anger? PM Kakar asks

Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has asked “How many Palestinian children have to be killed to appease and address the Israeli anger” in response to the Oct 7 Hamas attack.

Addressing Margalla Dialogue 2023 in Islamabad, he said, “Injured are being killed, children are being eliminated. It’s not of condemning one part or the other part. It is about those prime human values.

“The killing of any children is condemnable — be it of any faith or origin — so how many Palestinian children have to be killed to appease and address that Israeli anger?

“One? Five? 10? 500? 1,000? 4,700? Can they give us a number so we can satisfy those parents […]?” he asked.

“This is utterly unacceptable,” he asserted.
