ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has announced nationwide protests on Friday against Trump’s Gaza peace plan and the recent Israeli interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF).
In a statement issued on X, Fazlur Rehman rejected Trump’s 20-point formula for Gaza and stated that any cruel action against the Palestinians is unacceptable.
Rehman stated it could be a formula for Israel’s expansion, but not for recognizing a Palestinian state or liberating Jerusalem.
He said that demonstrations should be held in all district headquarters tomorrow, Friday, to express solidarity with the Palestinians and against Israeli actions.

Abdul Ghafoor Haideri said that Khateebs and Imams should pass resolutions against Trump’s infamous points during Friday sermons.
He added that strong protests should be held against the inception of the Sumud flotilla, which was heading towards Gaza to deliver aid and break Israel’s siege of the enclave.
“People of the nation should prove their religious zeal and honor by participating in the demonstrations,” Maulana Haideri said.
Earlier on Thursday, Pakistan and several other countries condemned Israel’s attack on the flotilla after its forces intercepted the vessels.
In a post on X, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said: “Pakistan strongly condemns the dastardly attack by Israeli forces on the 40-vessel Samud Gaza flotilla, carrying over 450 humanitarian workers from 44 countries.”
“We hope and pray for the safety of all those who have been illegally apprehended by Israeli forces and call for their immediate release,” he wrote on X.
In another post, he commended the presence of Pakistanis, including former Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) senator Mushtaq Ahmad, on the Sumud Flotilla.
“They participated in this great aid mission in line with the principles of humanity”, he said, adding that their initiative reflected Pakistanis’ peace-loving aspirations, struggle for justice, and spirit of helping those in need.
