ISLAMABAD: Calling on the world nations to intervene before it's too late, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Friday condemned the massacre of innocent Palestinians by Israel's occupation forces in a West Bank camp, expressing unwavering solidarity with the Arab nation. "Pakistan stands with the people of Palestine," the premier said in a tweet on Friday.

He said the killing of 10 Palestinians including an elderly woman in the occupied West Bank called for the strongest condemnation. He stressed sustainable peace in the Middle East, saying that it is linked to a two-state solution. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also strongly condemned Israel's brutal attack on the city and camp of Jenin in the State of Palestine, killing several Palestinians.

The Foreign Office in a statement called upon the international community to assume its responsibility for bringing these illegal incursions and actions by the Israeli occupation forces to a halt and ensuring adequate protection of the human rights of the Palestinian people. "Pakistan reiterates its strong and unwavering support to the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people for the full realisation of their fundamental rights including the right to self-determination," the statement said.
