ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday strongly denounced the deadly Israeli airstrikes on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, where at least 21 people, including four journalists and a rescue worker, were killed.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the attack as “unconscionable and heinous,” stressing that the assault on a medical facility, coupled with the continued targeting of civilians and journalists, constituted a serious breach of international human rights law, humanitarian principles, and press freedom.
Islamabad reiterated its demand for the international community to hold Israel accountable for what it called “heinous crimes,” urging urgent and concrete measures to end Israel’s “impunity.”
The foreign office also extended Pakistan’s criticism to Israeli military action in Syria, condemning in “the strongest possible terms” what it described as an unlawful incursion into the Syrian Arab Republic. Such actions, it said, violated international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter.
“Pakistan expresses its unwavering support for Syria’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity,” the statement added, calling on global powers to stop Israel from destabilizing the wider region.
