ISLAMABAD -UNS:As the Israel-Hamas fight entered a second day, Pakistan on Sunday called on the international community to intervene to bring an end to the conflict, protect civilians and work towards a lasting peace in the Middle East.
Caretaker Minister for Foreign Affairs Jalil Abbas Jilani issued the call for the international community to intervene. Jilani wrote a series of tweets explaining Pakistan’s position and reaction on the unfolding situation in the Middle East.
The foreign minister said that Pakistan was deeply concerned by the escalating hostility in the Middle East and the loss of innocent lives.
More than 900 Israelis and Palestinians have been killed in the conflict’s bloodiest escalation in decades which saw Hamas carry out a massive rocket barrage and ground, air and sea offensive on Saturday, with Israel repulsing the attack by pounding Gaza with air strikes.
