PM Shehbaz calls for two-state solution to end Palestinian conflict
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is delivering a powerful speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), urging the international community to take decisive action against Israeli aggression in Gaza.
He began his address by reciting verses from the Holy Quran, setting the tone for a call to justice and peace in the Middle East.
Palestinian conflict
Sharif condemned the ongoing violence in Gaza, describing it as a “great tragedy” where Palestinian children are being buried alive, and their homes are being burned. “The world is watching this cruelty unfold,” he said, emphasizing that mere condemnation is not enough. He called for immediate global intervention to halt Israel’s attacks.
The prime minister strongly advocated for a two-state solution to resolve the Palestinian conflict, stating that it is the only way to end the suffering in Gaza. He urged the UN to grant Palestine the status of a permanent member, arguing that this would contribute to lasting peace in the region.
In addition to the situation in Gaza, Sharif expressed grave concern over Israel’s recent aggression in Lebanon, warning that the violence could escalate into a broader regional conflict. “The threat of a major war in the region is growing,” he cautioned.
