Islamabad (TDI): Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned the latest provocative actions by Israeli occupying forces as well as illegal settlers that aimed to undermine the religious, historical and legal status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
“Such actions are unacceptable and represent a blatant violation of international law, with the potential to further escalate an already volatile situation in the region. Islamabad urges upholding the sanctity and historical status of the holy sites, and preventing Israel from any further provocations,” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
Pakistan also strongly criticized the continued targeting of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel.
The latest brutal strike on a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza was an example of continued Israeli barbarity, it said.
