Pakistan calls on world to interfere to defend Palestinians


(MENAFN) On Sunday, May. 16 Pakistan demanded vital interference from the world community to defend the Palestinian people from Israeli violence, which has claimed the life of 181 Palestinians as a minimum since May 10.

Speaking to a virtual emergency assembly of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) Executive Committee, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi asked for applying solutions of the UN Security Council, UN General Assembly and the UN Human Rights Council on the conflict of Palestine.

He stated: "the international community must protect the Palestinians against the blatant and illegal use of force and flagrant violations of human rights. It should urgently intervene and take concerted actions to stop Israeli atrocities against civilian population in Gaza," further saying that the bombardment in Gaza "must be stopped immediately."

Clashes extend from East Jerusalem to Gaza after Palestinian resistance groups there promised to react against new Israeli attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
