During the recent Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers meeting in Yaoundé, Cameroon, Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Muhammad Syrus Sajjad Qazi called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza amid ongoing Israeli military operations that have resulted in over 40,000 Palestinian deaths and nearly 2 million displaced. He emphasized the need for unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza and accountability for Israeli actions that violate the sovereignty of neighboring states. Qazi also highlighted the broader challenges facing the Muslim world, including rising Islamophobia and urged a collaborative action plan through the OIC. Pakistan's Foreign Office condemned Israel's military actions as genocide and called for international intervention to halt the violence. Furthermore, Pakistan continues to advocate for an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders. The government has consistently raised these issues at international forums, including the United Nations, while providing humanitarian aid to affected Palestinians.
