The Senate unanimously passed a resolution condemning Israel’s bombardment extending to many countries, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reports.

The upper house expressed its profound concern over the systemic exercise of impunity by Israel in its actions against Palestine, the resolution said.

It strongly condemned the killing of UNRWA staffers on October 7, 2023.

The Senate further condemned Israel’s recent legislative measures aimed at undermining the mandate of UNRWA, which provided essential humanitarian aid in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan and Syria.

The Senate also condemned the targeted killing of over 180 journalists during Israeli bombings in Gaza, and the deliberate destruction of critical infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and residential areas.
