DOHA: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has suggested the creation of an Arab-Islamic task force to adopt effective measures to counter Israeli aggression and expansionist designs, state-run Radio Pakistan reported.
Speaking at the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha on Monday, he said Israel must be held accountable for its war crimes against humanity.
Leaders from around 50 states are attending the high-level moot, which is being held under the umbrella of the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
PM Shehbaz said the attack on Doha was targeted by an “aggressor who violates international law seriously”. He said Pakistan condemned the attack, saying it clearly meant to undermine the peace efforts in the Middle East.
The Prime Minister strongly condemned Israel’s reckless and provocative attack on Doha aimed at sabotaging peace efforts in the Middle East. He expressed Pakistan’s all-out support and solidarity with Qatar.

“The Israeli attack on Qatar is not apart from the other attacks; it is a hegemonic ambition on the part of Israel to control the whole region, and the role of mediators is always considered to be sacred, and they are the hope of peace.”
He appreciated Qatar’s diplomatic efforts as it has consistently endeavored to bridge divides and promote the noble cause of regional and global peace.
The Prime Minister reiterated the OIC’s call to suspend Israel’s membership in the United Nations. He said the member states should actively consider other appropriate measures against Israel.
He urged the UN Security Council to urgently demand that Israel, under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, implement an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire, release hostages, and exchange Palestinian prisoners.
The Prime Minister also called for a guaranteed, sustained, and secure humanitarian access to all civilians in need, and the protection of aid workers, medical teams, journalists, and UN personnel.
He further emphasized the urgent need for a just, comprehensive, and lasting two-state solution, including the establishment of an independent State of Palestine based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
Shehbaz Sharif said Israel’s genocidal campaign has reduced Gaza to rubble, where more than 64000 Palestinians, including thousands of children, have been martyred. He said injustice has reached an unbearable level, which must stop now.
