Pakistan has issued a sharp rebuke against Israel’s legislative attempt to annex parts of the Occupied West Bank, labeling the initiative a “flagrant violation of international law” that threatens to destabilize the entire Middle East.
In a formal statement released on Thursday, the Foreign Office articulated that the draft law, which aims to extend Israeli control over illegal settlements, is a provocative and unlawful measure. Officials warned that such an action would seriously undermine ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
The Pakistani government has called upon the international community to take urgent and decisive action against the proposed legislation. The statement implored global actors to halt Israel’s illegal steps and hold the occupying forces accountable for their continued contraventions of international law and United Nations Security Council resolutions.
Islamabad reaffirmed its long-standing and unwavering backing for the Palestinian cause. The Foreign Office emphasized the nation’s commitment to collaborating with regional and international partners to uphold the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including their fundamental right to self-determination.
Reiterating its firm stance, Pakistan stressed its support for the establishment of an independent, sovereign, viable, and contiguous State of Palestine. The country maintains this vision is based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif recognized as its capital.
