ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The outgoing Ambassador of Palestine Ambassador Ahmed Jawad A.A. Rabei met Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif in Islamabad on Tuesday.
During the meeting, the prime minister reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination.
The prime minister strongly condemned Israel’s barbaric actions against innocent Palestinians in Gaza since October 7, 2023 that had led to the heart wrenching killing of over 40,000 innocent Palestinians including women and children, and more than 90,000 injured.
The prime minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s strong commitment and support for efforts to find a just and lasting resolution of the Palestine issue through a two state solution with the creation of an independent state of Palestine with pre-1967 borders and Al Quds as its Capital in accordance with relevant UN resolutions.
The Palestinian ambassador thanked the government of Pakistan for providing much needed humanitarian assistance and offering scholarships to Palestinian medical students to complete their studies in Pakistan.
