He considered the unity of the Islamic world important to overcome common challenges, including the cooperation of the Palestinians, and added: Islamic countries must work together to revive the concept of ummah and unity.
Appreciating the country’s continuous support to Palestine and helping the people of Gaza, the Palestinian ambassador in Pakistan said: 70% of the victims of Israeli crimes are the oppressed women and children of Gaza.
On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian resistance groups launched the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation from Gaza against the positions of the Israeli regime, and finally, on November 24, 2023, a four-day temporary ceasefire was established, or the pause for the exchange of prisoners between Hamas and Israel.
This pause in the war continued for seven days and finally (December 1, 2023) the temporary ceasefire ended and the Israeli regime resumed attacks against Gaza. In order to make up for its failure and stop the resistance operations, this regime has closed the crossings of the Gaza Strip and is bombarding this area.
Health authorities in Gaza say that the number of Palestinian casualties during the five-month war has reached more than 30,000.
