Pakistan reiterated its unwavering support to the Palestinian cause, urging immediate collective action to address the ongoing Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar reaffirmed this resolve while representing Pakistan at the Extraordinary Session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, today (Saturday). Dar strongly condemned the proposal of settling Palestinians in other countries and urged the OIC to collectively oppose any attempts to relocate Palestinians from their homeland, whether through direct coercion or under the guise of humanitarian relief and reconstruction.

He highlighted the necessity for concrete measures to realize the two-State Solution as the only means of achieving lasting peace in the region. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, a permanent cessation of hostilities, unrestricted humanitarian access, and a comprehensive reconstruction plan.

Calling for decisive diplomatic and economic measures by the OIC, Dar sought to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza and the West Bank. He welcomed the Gaza Reconstruction Plan prepared by Egypt, describing it as a balanced, practical, and efficient approach to rebuilding Gaza.

Dar pledged Pakistan’s continuous collaboration with the OIC and Arab partners to mobilize global support for the Palestinian right to self-determination, justice, and peace as an elected member of the UN Security Council for 2025-26.
