ISLAMABAD: President Dr Arif Alvi, Friday, telephoned Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas and assured Pakistan’s continued support for resolving the Palestinian dispute in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

The president expressed his heartfelt sympathies and grief on behalf of the people and the Government of Pakistan over the atrocities being committed by Israel against the people of Palestine.

He deplored the situation in Gaza, terming it “very painful” and said the entire Pakistani nation was deeply saddened by the brutalities and reign of terror unleashed by the Israeli security forces.

He strongly condemned the lethal bombing by Israel which even did not spare schools and hospitals.

The barbaric actions, he said, resulted in the killing of thousands of Palestinians, including women and children, healthcare workers, journalists, and UN aid workers.

The president said the current situation in Gaza was the reaction of decades of apartheid and unjust policies of Israel. He condemned Israel for ethnic cleansing against the Muslims and pushing them out of their territories.

He regretted the lack of action on the part of the international community to stop Israel from its murderous campaign against the people of Gaza.

He urged the international community to make efforts for urgent ceasefire, opening of an unhindered humanitarian corridor to Gaza, stopping further displacement of the Palestinians from their homeland and permanent solution to the Palestinian dispute in accordance with the UNSC resolutions.

The president said if the two-state solution was not acceptable to Israel, then one-state solution was the only way where Jews, Muslims, and a good percentage of Christians could live to exercise equal political rights.

Palestinian President Mehmood Abbas said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. He called for stopping Israel from fighting across the Palestinian territory.

He also demanded the opening of a corridor to Gaza to ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance as there was no food, medicine, and electricity available for the people of Gaza.

President Abbas thanked Pakistan for supporting the Palestinian cause and sending humanitarian assistance.
