ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan Observer is planning to host an International Conference on Palestine soon, the Executive Editor of Pakistan Observer Gauhar Zahid Malik told Yemen’s Ambassador Mohammed Motahar Alashabi.
Talking to the Yemeni ambassador at a meeting in Islamabad on Wednesday, Gauhar Zahid Malik said that the Conference will aim at to highlight the plight of the innocent Muslim brothers and sisters of Palestine who have been facing gross violations of human rights for the last six decades.
The Yemeni ambassador said that Pakistan Observer has always been vocal and making great efforts for the unity of the Ummah and resolution of the conflicts.
While paying rich tributes to the late founder Editor-in-Chief of Pakistan Observer Zahid Malik, the ambassador said that he was a true friend of the Islamic World and his efforts in this regard would always be remembered.
During the meeting, they also discussed the Palestine issue and appreciated the Yemen government’s efforts aimed at the ceasefire.
They condemned the recent, unprovoked, and brutal attacks by the Israeli forces in the holy month of Ramazan-ul-Mubarak.
They were of the view that the Israeli forces launched aerial attacks on the innocent Palestinians killing more than 300 people including children and women, and demanded from the international community, the UN, the United States, and the European Union (EU) to take notice of Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians.
The Yemeni ambassador said that the Palestine issue serves a grim reminder on the United Nations, the US, and other world powers regarding their failure to resolve decades-old conflict that has cost the lives of thousands of Muslim men, women, and children in Palestine.
The envoy said that today, the whole world is seeking an urgent, peaceful, and lasting solution to the Palestine issue calling for an end to Israel’s war crimes and human rights violations and this is perhaps the right time they (the world powers) should intervene and bring an end to Palestinians’ ordeal.
The Yemeni envoy lauded Prime Minister Imran for his prompt response to the Israeli aggression and for taking up the matter at the UN, Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and all the other global forums through the Pakistani overseas missions and the Foreign Office.
Ambassador Motahar Alashabi also praised the bold stance of Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi for strongly advocating the Palestine cause at the international level.
The Executive Editor of Pakistan Observer Gauhar Zahid Malik said that it is not simply an issue of the people of Palestine or a territorial dispute, rather it is a question of justice and humanity and the world, particularly the international powers, the UN and the OIC should address it at the earliest.
The CEO of OTV Omer Malik also accompanied Gauhar Malik on this occasion.
