Pakistan on Saturday strongly condemned recent air strikes by Israel on Gaza, calling on the international community to put an immediate end to the blatant use of force and flagrant violations of human rights of the Palestinians. "Martyrdom of 10 Palestinians including a five-year-old girl in Gaza is latest act of Israeli terrorism. If impunity and barbarism had a face, it would have been that of Israel, which has targeted Palestinians without any care for consequences," Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Twitter. "Pakistan strongly condemns Israeli airstrikes," he added. In a statement, the Foreign Office spokesperson said the latest spate of aggression was typical of the Israeli atrocities, illegal actions and indiscriminate use of force against innocent Palestinians over the decades in complete defiance of international human rights and humanitarian laws. “Pakistan calls upon the international community to urge Israel to put an immediate end to the blatant use of force and flagrant violations of human rights of the Palestinian people.” The FO emphasised it was imperative to immediately stop the aggression. “We renew our call for a viable, independent and contiguous Palestinian state, with pre-1967 borders, and Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital being the only just, comprehensive and lasting solution of the Palestinian question, in accordance with the relevant United Nations and OIC resolutions,” the spokesperson added
