Pakistan Condemns Israeli Military Actions in Syria, Calls for Withdrawal

NEW YORK: Pakistan has condemned the ongoing Israeli military actions in Syria, urging for Israel’s immediate withdrawal from all occupied Syrian territories and adherence to the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement. This statement was made during a UN Security Council briefing on the humanitarian and political situation in Syria on Monday evening.

Acting Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN, Ambassador Usman Jadoon, emphasized that these Israeli actions violate international law and threaten Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He asserted that such violations undermine the prospects for peace and stability in the region, calling for a collective international response to uphold the rights of the Syrian people.

The implications of these actions are significant, as they not only exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Syria but also strain diplomatic relations in the Middle East. Pakistan’s firm stance reflects its commitment to international law and the principles of sovereignty, potentially influencing other nations’ responses to the ongoing conflict.

Looking ahead, Pakistan is expected to continue advocating for a resolution to the Syrian crisis at international forums, emphasizing the need for dialogue and respect for international agreements. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are anticipated as the UN Security Council deliberates on the matter.
