Pakistan’s statement followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to permanently resettle Palestinians from devastated Gaza to neighboring countries.
During key discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump referred to Gaza as a “demolition site,” sparking reactions from Pakistan and other nations.
Trump repeated his call for Jordan, Egypt and other Arab states to take in Gazans, saying Palestinians there had no alternative but to abandon the coastal strip, which must be rebuilt after nearly 16 months of a devastating war between Israel and Hamas.

The statement condemned any attempts to displace Palestinians or expand illegal settlements, calling such actions a blatant violation of international law and a threat to regional peace and security.
