ANKARA (Kashmir English): Pakistan and Turkiye have jointly called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, expressing serious concern over the worsening humanitarian situation in the region.
The matter was discussed during a telephonic discussion between Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
The two leaders strongly condemned Israel’s ongoing atrocities in Gaza and expressed grave concern over the deepening humanitarian catastrophe, including starvation, forced displacement, and loss of innocent lives.
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar also spoke telephonically with Foreign Minister of Iran, Seyed Abbas Araghchi.
Both leaders discussed the grave humanitarian crisis in Gaza impacting millions of Palestinians.
The Deputy Prime Minster reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people and called for immediate and unhindered humanitarian access.
They also exchanged views regarding high-level Iranian visit to Pakistan in the near future.
Expressing unwavering support for the Palestinian people and their just cause, they hoped for meaningful outcomes from the international conference on the implementation of the two-state solution, being held on Monday at the United Nations.
Both Pakistan and Turkiye have maintained a firm stance in support of Palestinian rights. They called for the protection of civilians and respect for international law, urging an end to the blockade and military actions in Gaza.
The joint call comes amid increasing global pressure to end the conflict, which has resulted in thousands of casualties and large-scale displacement. Pakistan and Turkiye’s united voice adds to the growing international demand for peace and aid access in the besieged territory.
Earlier this year, both countries also raised the Gaza issue at various international forums, calling on the United Nations and other global powers to intervene.
