Israeli aggression in Lebanon: Pakistan urges world to take urgent action

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has urged the international community to take urgent action to end the Israeli military aggression, the indiscriminate targeting of civilians, and the continued violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“We also call for Israel’s withdrawal from all occupied Lebanese territories immediately, fully, and unconditionally,” the Foreign Office spokesperson stated on Tuesday.

Pakistan has also condemned in the strongest terms Israel’s continued military aggression against Lebanon, resulting in the death of hundreds of civilians and the displacement of nearly half a million, the spokesperson further said. The Israeli actions, which are in contravention of international law, are undermining the efforts of the Government of Lebanon to ensure peace and stability in the country and have the potential to further exacerbate the ongoing security and humanitarian crises in the region, the FO spokesperson remarked.

Pakistan expresses its complete solidarity with the brotherly people of Lebanon in the face of this aggression and will continue to support all efforts aimed at ensuring lasting peace in Lebanon as well as the wider region, he added.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar spoke late Monday night with Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani.

They exchanged views on the developments in the Middle East and the wider region, conveying grave concern over recent attacks, including in Bahrain.

The Deputy Prime Minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s solidarity with Bahrain and its people, highlighting the need for de-escalation, dialogue, and efforts for peace and stability in the region.
