ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly condemned the continuing violations by the Israeli occupying forces and extremist settlers against the Palestinian people in the occupied West Bank, including repeated storming of the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and provocations against worshippers.
Foreign Office said in a statement that such actions constitute a blatant violation of the international law and the relevant UN resolutions.
The statement further said it is imperative that the sanctity of the holy sites must be ensured in accordance with the international law and the historical status quo.
Pakistan called upon the international community to take urgent and effective measures to ensure protection of the holy sites, prevent further settler violence and incursions, and uphold relevant UN resolutions.
Pakistan reiterated its principled position in support of a just, comprehensive and lasting peace based on the two-State solution, leading to the establishment of an independent, sovereign, viable and contiguous State of Palestine, based on pre-June 1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
