Former prime minister and Chairperson of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Benazir Bhutto has called upon the United Nations and the international community to bring about an immediate cease-fire to end the renewed violence in the Middle East.
In a statement here on Thursday, she said that the situation in the Middle East was explosive and it was important to contain the danger before it spread. She welcomed the report that the Socialist International has taken an initiative in this regard.
Socialist International recently said, "this inertia of the international community obliges other bodies, such as Socialist International, to undertake initiatives".
Benazir said that innocent men, women and children were losing their lives and property was being destroyed, as was infrastructure. She called for immediate measures to defuse the crisis and bring about a truce.
