Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Munir Akram this week called for the international community to take “decisive steps” to realize the two-state solution in the Middle East, reiterating Islamabad’s stance that it was the only path for durable peace in the region.
Pakistan is among the most vocal countries that have called on Israel to announce an unconditional and immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Islamabad has denounced what it refers to as Israel’s “genocide” against Palestinians and has often urged at international forums for the international community to intervene and stop Israel’s military operations.
Israel launched its air and ground war in Gaza after Hamas-led fighters attacked Israeli communities across the border on Oct. 7 last year, killing 1,200 people and taking over 250 hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. Gaza’s Health Ministry says that Israel’s military campaign since then has killed more than 44,500 Palestinians and injured many others.
