Pakistan strongly condemns Israel’s plan to displace Palestinians

Pakistan on Saturday strongly condemned recent statements by the Israeli occupying power, in which it expressed intent to forcibly displace Palestinians from their land.

“Such actions are a blatant violation of international law and a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts for peace and stability in the region,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.

The statement added that forced displacement, coupled with the continued expansion of illegal settlements, demonstrates Israel’s disregard for international human rights and humanitarian law.

Pakistan urged the international community to address the humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian civilians and to hold Israel accountable for its actions.

It also reaffirmed unwavering support for the Palestinian people in their just struggle for self-determination and the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.

Earlier, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, called on countries shielding Israel at the UN Security Council to urgently reconsider their policies, warning that such support has enabled “mass carnage” in Gaza.

“The occupying power’s apologists must reflect and objectively assess the consequences of their policies,” Ambassador Ahmad told the 15-member Council.

“Impunity has become Israel’s shield – and this Council’s silence, its enabler.

The Council cannot remain a bystander; it must act decisively to uphold its Charter responsibility for international peace and security.”

Highlighting the devastation in Gaza, Ambassador Ahmad said that of the more than 62,000 people killed, the majority were women and children. “This cannot be dismissed as collateral damage; it is mass carnage,” he declared.

He further stated that Israel is carrying out “a campaign of ethnic cleansing in plain sight” through mass killings, forced displacement, famine, settlement expansion, and the destruction of habitable land.

The envoy also condemned Israel’s planned occupation of Gaza City, describing it as “a blueprint for further humanitarian catastrophe” that could displace up to one million more people.
