Hamas has issued a statement saying it welcomes “the Pakistani government’s decision that Israel is an entity that has committed war crimes and its criminal prime minister is a terrorist”, Al Jazeera reports.

PM’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah called Israel a terrorist state and slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal as per international laws.

He said Pakistan will use every possible means to help the Palestinians and condemn Israel as a terrorist country.

He called upon the international community and the Muslim Ummah to hold the Israeli prime minister accountable and bring him to justice.
