ISLAMABAD, Pakistan The Foreign Office of Pakistan has issued a forceful and unequivocal response to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent remarks on Gaza, condemning them as both unjust and unacceptable.
During his weekly media briefing, Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan reaffirmed Pakistan's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, emphasizing that the country's stance has remained steadfast since its independence in 1947.
He strongly criticized any statements implying the forced displacement of Palestinians, calling such suggestions not only unfair but also a violation of fundamental human rights.
"Pakistan stands in full solidarity with the Palestinian people and categorically rejects any attempt to justify their forced removal from their homeland.
"We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, Israel's continuous breaches of the Gaza ceasefire agreement and its violations of international law," Khan stated.
He urged the global community to take immediate and decisive action against Israel's repeated infractions, stressing the need for accountability.
Khan reiterated that Pakistan has always advocated for the rights of Palestinians and will continue to support their struggle for justice and self-determination on every international platform.
When asked about reports of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's visit to the United States, the spokesperson clarified that the Foreign Office had no official information regarding the trip or any meetings with the U.S. President.
"There is no record of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's visit to the United States or any scheduled discussions with President Trump. If such engagements did take place, the Pakistan People's Party would be in a better position to confirm or clarify the details," he stated.
Pakistan remains resolute in its foreign policy regarding Palestine, urging the world to stand against oppression and uphold the principles of justice and human rights.
