Referring to the press conference of a Gaza doctor who addressed the presser while standing among some 1000 dead bodies, he said that Israel has been pounding bombs targeting innocent civilian but not a single country comes forward to refrain the Zionist state.
On the occasion, he demanded of the chief of army staff to take initiative in order to take other armies across the globe onboard and deliver a clear message to Israel regarding any further military action against Palestine.
He questioned the reason for existence of the armies of 40 Islamic countries, if Qibla-e-Awal is not protected. He said that the affected children in Palestine were calling for Arabs and the Muslim Ummah for help
