In a stern rebuke, Pakistan has voiced strong condemnation over Israel’s intensifying military actions in the Middle East, spotlighting its grave concerns over the rising civilian death toll and blatant violations of international law.
The Pakistan Foreign Office, in an official statement, described Israel’s actions as “unbridled,” accusing the Israeli forces of operating with a “disregard for international law.”
This latest escalation comes as Israel continues to launch a series of airstrikes targeting civilian-populated areas, notably in Lebanon.
The Foreign Office statement further highlighted how Israel’s recent military activities not only violate Lebanon’s sovereignty but also threaten to destabilize the entire region.
Pakistani officials have expressed alarm over the aggression, particularly condemning the recent Israeli strikes on Hezbollah’s command center, which resulted in the death of its Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The killing of such a prominent figure marks a significant escalation, pushing the region closer to further conflict.
This is not the first time Israel’s military actions have sparked international outcry. Pakistan recalled Israel’s recent operations in Gaza, where more than 41,000 civilians, mostly women and children, have been killed within the past year, with another 95,500 injured.
Despite calls for restraint and a United Nations Security Council resolution advocating for an immediate ceasefire, Israeli forces continue their military operations, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, as the Israeli blockade has left the besieged population without adequate food, clean water, or medical supplies.
Entire communities have been displaced, living under constant threat of airstrikes and struggling to survive amidst severe shortages.
Health authorities in Gaza continue to report alarming numbers of casualties, highlighting the urgent need for global intervention.
The Pakistani government has consistently called upon the United Nations to take immediate action to halt Israel’s military campaigns.
In its latest appeal, Pakistan urged the United Nations Security Council to uphold international law and restrain Israel from further aggressive actions.
“The ongoing atrocities not only violate international law but are a grave threat to regional peace,” the Foreign Office warned.
Pakistan remains committed to advocating for peaceful resolutions to conflicts in the Middle East and standing in solidarity with the people of Lebanon and Gaza.
As the conflict intensifies, accusations of war crimes and genocide are being leveled against Israel, with the International Court of Justice currently investigating these allegations.
The international community’s response has been mixed, but Pakistan has remained unwavering in its position, calling for restraint, justice, and the protection of innocent civilians.
In an earlier strike in Tehran, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was also assassinated, further fueling tensions.
The targeted killings of such high-profile figures, combined with relentless airstrikes on civilian areas, have led to fears of widespread instability in the region.
Pakistan has consistently condemned such acts and calls on the international community to intervene before the situation spirals further out of control.
The mounting civilian casualties, ongoing blockades, and relentless military strikes have created an untenable situation for the people of the Middle East.
As Pakistan continues to press for diplomatic efforts and global engagement, it remains committed to supporting the victims and seeking a peaceful resolution to the decades-long conflict.
