ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly condemned the attacks on the ‘innocent’ worshippers at Al Aqsa mosque by the Israel Occupation Forces, which led to a number of injuries.
According to a statement issued today (Saturday), FO Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said such attacks, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, were against all humanitarian norms and human rights laws. He also prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.
The spokesperson reiterated Pakistan’s steadfast support for the Palestinian cause, urging the international community to take prompt action to protect the Palestinian people.
He underscored the need for a two-state solution in accordance with the relevant UN and OIC resolutions with the pre-1967 borders and Al-Quds Al-Sharif as the capital of a viable, independent, and contiguous Palestinian state.

At least 178 Palestinians and six officers were injured in the night-time clashes at the holy site and around East Jerusalem, as thousands of Palestinians faced off with several hundred Israeli police in riot gear.
