ISLAMABAD, (PIC)
Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said that Israel is committing genocide of the Palestinians. He demanded the world to take action against the Jewish state.
Making a reference to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ (OCHA) latest report on Gaza in a statement issued by his office, Sharif said the latest UN report was “horrifying” and fresh evidence of the Israeli crime of the “genocide” of the oppressed Palestinian people.
“The United Nations report is telling that the Palestinian children are the biggest target of Israel,” the prime minister said. “It is clearly seen that Israel is involved in mass slaughter of the Palestinians.”
Since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza in October last year, the South Asian country has repeatedly raised the issue at the United Nations and demanded international powers and multilateral bodies stop Israeli military actions. Pakistan has also dispatched several aid consignments for the Palestinians.
“The reports of international organizations are a serious indictment against Israel. The murderers of humanity should be punished and the oppressed [Palestinians] must be protected,” Sharif said, promising to speed up delivery of food to the Palestinians, especially children.
