Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering and principled support for the Palestinian peoples’ “inalienable right to a viable, independent and contiguous state of Palestine, APP reports.

“For over 75 years, the Palestinian people have endured occupation, displacement and denial of their fundamental rights, including their inalienable right to self-determination,” Dar said while speaking at a UN conference.

“This prolonged injustice is not just a political failure but a moral stain and a persistent threat to international peace and security […] Today, Gaza is a graveyard of international law and humanitarian principles.

“The collective punishment of Palestinians must stop now and we must immediately act with purpose.”
