Pakistan has endorsed the Gaza ceasefire agreement and called for its prompt and full implementation, the Foreign Office announced on Thursday. The truce is seen as a potential move toward lasting peace and an increase in humanitarian aid.
The statement condemned Israel’s actions, highlighting the “indiscriminate force” that has led to significant loss of Palestinian lives, displacement, and regional instability. Pakistan reaffirmed its support for a sovereign Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
The ceasefire agreement, reached on Wednesday, outlines a phased plan: a six-week truce, withdrawal of Israeli forces, and prisoner exchanges. Future phases aim to release all hostages, establish a permanent ceasefire, and initiate Gaza’s reconstruction under international oversight.
