Pakistan alerts the world to the repercussions of Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine
Pakistan said on Friday that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal and needs to end.
Law Minister Ahmed Irfan Aslam remarked that Pakistan has come to “the conclusion that Israel’s occupation is unlawful and unlawfulness must have consequences” when speaking to the International Court of Justice.
Israel is presently on trial before the International Court of Justice, the highest court in the UN, for the first time since its founding in 1948, on allegations that it committed the crime of “genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza.
Aslam attacked the Israeli settler program, claiming that by establishing permanent facts on the ground, Tel Aviv makes it difficult to stop its protracted occupation.
“Its policies and practices of occupation deny the rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination and amount to systematic racial discrimination and serious violations of international humanitarian law and human rights,” he stated, requesting that the UN High Court examine this matter seriously.
He claimed that Israel’s current policies violate international law and aim to kill and uproot Palestinians in order to seize territory.
The top UN court is presently hearing oral arguments from states about South Africa’s lawsuit against Israel regarding its war in Palestine, where Tel Aviv’s attacks on the beleaguered enclave of Gaza have resulted in deaths that are quickly reaching 30,000 since October 7.
After a cross-border strike by the Palestinian organization Hamas on October 7 that claimed the lives of almost 1,200 Israelis, Israel has been pounding the Gaza Strip.
In addition to hurting almost 60,000 people, the UN reports that the Israeli war on Gaza has caused 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure to be damaged or destroyed and forced 85% of the territory’s inhabitants into internal displacement due to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medication.
The International Court of Justice has accused Israel of committing genocide. In January, an interim verdict mandated that Tel Aviv cease its acts of genocide and take steps to ensure that residents in Gaza get humanitarian aid.
But the violence hasn’t stopped, and there hasn’t been nearly enough relief to meet the humanitarian crisis.
