“Pakistan stands steadfast in support of Palestinian cause,” the foreign minister remarked and said the country had also strongly condemned the way the Palestinian people were being evicted from their homes.
Talking to different television channels while being in Saudi Arabia accompanying Prime Minister Imran Khan on his three-day visit, Qureshi said the people of Palestine must be given their right and the Israeli aggression against them must come to an end immediately.
The foreign minister welcomed the summoning of urgent meeting of Arab League and called it a “timely step.”
He said the Arab League, OIC and other countries championing the human rights must take notice of the situation.
“I am happy that Arab league summoned an urgent meeting. Arab League should unanimously talk on and attract attention of the western states towards this issue,” he said.
To a question, he said that the unity of Muslim Ummah will inevitably attract the attention of the western powers to the issue.
Qureshi said the Muslim states would have to foil the designs of some powers, trying to create difference among Ummah. By this way, he added, the Muslim world could raise their unanimous voice through the platforms of OIC and Human Rights Council.
