Islamabad:
Pakistan set up a strong denunciation of “highly escalation and dangerous” statements on Monday on the largest number of Israel, on Monday, warning that such declarations have risked plunging the whole region into even greater instability while worsening Gaza’s humanitarian tragedy.
In a powerful provision in the 21st extraordinary session of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation Council of Foreign Ministers (OIC-CFM) to the deputy for Jeddah and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ishaq Dar, warned that history will judge the Muslim world by its actions to prevent another Nakba.
Dar has published a striking conviction of the recent provocative declarations of Israel and unveiled a full plan of seven points for Palestine. He reiterated Pakistan’s support for the fraternal Arab States in the safeguarding of their sovereignty against threats against their independence and their territorial integrity.
The OIC-CFM meeting has summoned itself while Gaza continues to bleed. DAR described the Israeli action in Gaza a “systematic, premeditated and deliberate violations of international law”, engaged with impunity.
Dar distinguished “the cheeky audacity of the so-called Israeli cabinet” for having revealed a “worrying plan to extend the full military control of Israel on Gaza” and condemned the recent allusion of the Israeli Prime Minister to the creation of a “great Israel”.
This said the Deputy Prime Minister, provided a “clear overview of the annexationist and the mentality of Israel”, constituting a direct threat to Arab national security, state sovereignty and regional and international peace.
“Pakistan fully supports their fraternal Arab states in the safeguarding of their sovereignty against threats against their independence and their territorial integrity,” said DAR, fully approving a joint declaration published by 31 Arab countries and regional organizations condemning “the scandalous insinuation” of Benjamin Netanyahu.
By painting a heartbreaking image of the situation on the ground, Dar said that “Gaza has become a cemetery for an innocent life as well as for international law”. He cited more than 60,000 Palestinians killed – most women and children.
He condemned the systematic targeting of hospitals, schools and United Nations facilities. “It was not accessories,” said Pakistani Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Muslim world, “these are free acts of collective punishment for the world.”
He detailed a “large -scale humanitarian disaster”, Gaza enduring almost two years of blind bombing, total blockage and “deliberate deprivation and famine”. He described the so-called humanitarian system of “cruel illusion”.
“Famine is endemic, civilians are slaughtered while trying to collect food,” said Dar. In this context, he added, the Palestinian question was a “decisive test for the credibility of the so-called” order based on rules “”.
He warned that “maintaining the rights of the Palestinian people would enhance impunity and undermine the legitimacy of the very order that we claim all to defend”. Echoing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Dar said that as long as “the occupation of Israel continues, peace will remain elusive”.
To break the cycle of violence and safeguard the world order, DAR articulated a detailed plan of seven points. First, he called for an “immediate, permanent and unconditional ceasefire” with a complete implementation of the United Nations Security Council resolution 2735.
Second, he demanded “sustained and secure humanitarian access”, noting the constant proportion of help from Pakistan. Thirdly, he urged international support renewed to the United Nations UNRWA and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine.
Fourth, DAR demanded an “end to forced displacement, expansion and annexation of Palestinian lands”, warning that Israel’s intention to occupy the city of Gaza would be a “deliberate attempt to erase Palestinian existence and heritage”.
Fifth, he called for the implementation of the Arab reconstruction plan and led by the OIC for Gaza. Sixthly, he put pressure for the rebirth of a real political process for a two-state solution based on the borders before 1967 with Al Quds al-Sharif as capital.
Seventh, and finally, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, DAR, demanded “the responsibility of war crimes and crimes against humanity”, insisting that Israel must not be authorized to act with impunity in the contempt of international law and the International Court of Justice (GIP).
DAR has reserved a specific conviction in Jerusalem, declaring that “any desecration of the Al Aqsa mosque is an intolerable provocation”. He called the incursions by Israeli officials in the Al-Sharif quarter an “deliberate assault against the Muslim colonies” and a “direct challenge to the collective conscience of the Ummah Muslim”.
He called on the United Nations Security Council, as the main organ of world peace, to “impose a cost on Israel” and to adopt implementing measures, in particular “the deployment of an international protective force to save the besieged population in Gaza”.
In his final remarks, Dar led the moment as a decisive moment for the Muslim Ummah. “History would not judge them by their words but by their actions,” he said.
“The Palestinian people are not looking for statements of sympathy; they need concrete measures to end their suffering and ensure their release from the Israeli occupation. The OIC must take up this challenge with unity, resolution and goal. Another Nakba cannot and should not be allowed to occur.”
By reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment, Dar said that “Palestine is a priority for Pakistan” and as a non -permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, the country will continue to work with OIC and Arab partners to mobilize global support.
He stressed that the OIC must act with urgency and determination, declaring: “It is time for credible action, to reaffirm our common commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.”
On the sidelines of the OIC-CFM, DAR met the Saudi Foreign Minister to discuss the serious situation in Gaza, including the genocide in progress, the famine and the urgent need of a permanent cease-fire and the reconstruction.
