Pakistan condemns use of force against Palestinians

ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Tuesday released a statement to strongly condemn the merciless killings and injuries to innocent unarmed Palestinian civilian protesters by the occupying authorities.

The protests are a consequence of the relocation of the United States Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv in opposition to the position of the United Nations and under international law.

Pakistan calls on the United Nations and the

international community to investigate and bring to end the use of force, which has resulted in causalities of innocent Palestinian civilians, including women, children and the elderly, said the statement.

It further said that Pakistan also renews its call for establishment of a viable, independent and contiguous state of Palestine, on the basis of internationally agreed parameters, pre-1967 borders, and with Al-Quds Al-Sharif (Jerusalem) as its capital.
