Pakistan has played a key role around the world, including the United Nations, in stopping the 11-day barbaric bombardment of Gaza and unarmed Palestinian by Israeli warplanes, and has taken a firm stand on Israeli aggression, exposing Israeli war crimes to the world. Not only the world media but also the leaders of other countries including Muslim countries strongly condemned the Israeli barbarism against the Palestinian.
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s emergency visits, meetings with world leaders and speeches at the UN General Assembly session not only shook the conscience of the world on the issue of Palestine, but also the international media could not remain silent on the issue, the Minister said. Foreign powers have dealt a severe blow to the power-hungry Israel, forcing the Israeli prime minister to declare a ceasefire.
Yesterday, due to Pakistan’s own efforts, the UN Human Rights Council unanimously approved Pakistan’s resolution and announced a global investigation into human rights violations and war crimes during the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip. The full voice of the Pakistani government on the issue of Palestine did not go unnoticed by the Israeli government and now Israel, like India, has started spewing poison against Pakistan.
Israeli Foreign Ministry Director General Elon Ashez, who has also served as Israel’s ambassador to India, spewed venom against Pakistan on Twitter, saying that human rights champion Pakistan itself lives in a glass house. Teaching the only democracy in the Middle East is a prime example of hypocrisy.
The director of the Israeli Foreign Ministry responded to a tweet on the official account of the Pakistani Foreign Ministry regarding the UN human rights meeting against Israel, while the statement was retweeted by the Israeli Foreign Ministry itself.
