Pakistan condemns Israeli aggression, calls for de-escalation

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani while strongly condemning Israeli aggression has called for de-escalation in the region. The recent escalation, sparked by Israeli actions on April 1st and 2nd, has drawn Pakistan’s ire and concern for the volatile situation in the Middle East, a statement issued on Sunday stated.

The statement vehemently condemned the Israeli attack on the Iranian Consular Section in Damascus, Syria, labeling it as “unacceptable and irresponsible.” The Pakistani government squarely placed blame on Israel for the escalation and urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to intervene to prevent further adventurism in the region.

Highlighting the grave implications of the UNSC’s inability to fulfill its responsibilities, Pakistan stressed the importance of maintaining peace in its neighborhood. With a vested interest in containing hostilities that could engulf the entire region, Pakistan called for immediate de-escalation and urged Israel to respond to Iranian strikes with restraint.

Pakistan’s stance on the ongoing conflict in Gaza remained steadfast, with the country advocating for international efforts to prevent the expansion of hostilities and calling for a ceasefire.

The government emphasized the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and condemned Israeli aggression against Syria and Lebanon.

Furthermore, Pakistan highlighted the critical importance of a strong defense and security apparatus in the face of external threats, particularly from India and externally sponsored terrorism.

The alleged nexus between Israel and India was portrayed as a destabilizing factor in the region, prompting Pakistan to emphasize the need for vigilance against such alliances. As tensions continue to simmer, Pakistan urged for a cessation of hostilities and reiterated its commitment to ensuring the focus remains on addressing the genocide in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis it has caused.

The country’s proactive stance in recalling the Israeli attack against the Iranian Consulate underscores its dedication to maintaining regional stability and security.

Amidst social media propaganda and vested political interests, Pakistan called for unity and vigilance against attempts to sow discord and play into the hands of adversaries. With the region on edge, Pakistan’s calls for de-escalation and peace resonate as a beacon of hope in turbulent times.
