ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly condemned recent developments in the Middle East, criticizing the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli occupying forces and expressing serious concern over missile attacks on Saudi Arabia.
In separate statements issued by the Foreign Office, Pakistan termed these actions as violations of international law and regional stability, while extending heartfelt condolences and reaffirming its solidarity with the leadership and people of Saudi Arabia.
The Government of Pakistan expresses its deep concern and unequivocal condemnation of the missile and drone attacks carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran on Tuesday night against energy facilities in the Eastern Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. According to a Foreign Office (FO) statement, Pakistan mourns the loss of life resulting from these attacks and strongly deplores the damage inflicted on vital infrastructure.
Pakistan conveys its sincere condolences to the families of the victims and firmly stands in solidarity with the Government and people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during this difficult time, the statement added.
“The Government of Pakistan considers these attacks a serious violation of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and a dangerous escalation that undermines regional peace and stability,” the statement added.
Pakistan also reaffirmed its unwavering support for the Kingdom’s security.
In a separate statement issued by the Foreign Office, Pakistan condemned in the strongest possible terms the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque (Al-Haram Al-Sharif) by Israeli occupation forces.
This reprehensible act constitutes a direct assault on the sanctity and historical character of the holy site and is a violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.
“Pakistan categorically rejects all attempts by the Israeli occupying authorities to alter or undermine the established religious, historical and legal status of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and calls upon the international community to take urgent and effective measures to prevent such provocations,” the Foreign Office added.
The statement reiterates its unwavering and principled support for the just cause of the Palestinian people, including their inalienable right to self-determination, and for the establishment of an independent, sovereign, viable, and contiguous State of Palestine, based on the pre-June 1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
