In a recent statement on his social media platform, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to advocating for the rights of the Palestinian people. He highlighted his telephonic discussion with the Prime Minister of Ireland, Simon Harris, where he commended the International Court of Justice’s decision to demand Israel cease its attacks on Gaza and Rafah.
Expressing admiration for Ireland’s recent recognition of the state of Palestine, the Prime Minister emphasized that this significant step not only serves as a message of solidarity to the suffering Palestinian population but also stands to advance the cause of Palestine and potentially inspire other nations to follow suit.
Furthermore, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his hope that the plight of the oppressed people of Kashmir would receive similar international attention, as they have endured decades of harsh occupation and been deprived of their fundamental human rights. He underscored the need for the international community to address the longstanding challenges faced by the people of Kashmir with the same urgency and support demonstrated for the Palestinian cause.
