Islamabad : Pakistani Senate on Friday passed a unanimous resolution, strongly condemning Israel for its barbaric military aggression against Palestinians in Gaza.
The resolution, read out by leader of the House Raza Rabbani, said the Israeli aggression has caused thousands of civilian casualties and caused large scale damage to property.
“Israeli aggression in Gaza violated principles of the UN charter, international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Convention,” the resolution said.
The Israeli policies and practice of targeting the civilian population are tantamount to committing state terrorism, the resolution added.
The resolution noted with deep concern the pathetic inability of the international community including major powers, the UN, the Arab and Islamic world to take effective actions at the political, moral and legal planes, to stop Israeli aggression in Gaza.
The House urged the international community, particularly the US, to use its influence for safeguarding the legitimate rights including right to life, which is the most fundamental of the people of Palestine.
It also urged the US and the international community to use all means to dissuade Israel from atrocities against the civilians and the defenceless Palestinians. The senators reaffirmed Pakistani people’s solidarity with their Palestinian brethren.
The resolution supported and expressed solidarity with the people of Palestine in their just struggle for the restitution of their legitimate and inalienable right to establish an independent Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.
The house requested the government of Pakistan to expedite supply of humanitarian and relief assistance for the Palestinian people in Gaza.
