Pakistan has issued a strong condemnation of the escalating Israeli aggressiveness in the Middle East. A spokesperson from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) stated that Israel’s unchecked assaults on civilian populations and its blatant disregard for international law have become increasingly concerning.

“For the last several days, Israeli forces have engaged in unacceptable violation of the sovereignty of Lebanon, relentlessly targeting civilian population centers, and undermining its stability and security. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of Israeli aggression and the people of Lebanon.

“Yesterday’s reckless act of killing the Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon constitutes a major escalation in an already volatile region,” the FO said.

“Pakistan continues to stand in solidarity with the people of Lebanon. We urge the United Nations Security Council to restrain Israel from its adventurism in the region and violations of international law; and to restore peace in the Middle East,” the FO spokesperson said.
