PM Shehbaz Welcomes Palestine Ceasefire, Calls for Immediate Humanitarian Assistance

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday welcomed the announcement of a long-awaited ceasefire in Palestine, praising the mediation efforts led by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Egypt, and other international partners.

In a statement shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, the prime minister described the ceasefire as a crucial step toward peace in the region.

“It is imperative that the provision of urgently needed humanitarian assistance is immediately restored to Gaza and other war-torn areas,” PM Shehbaz stated, emphasizing the importance of aid for the affected populations.

The prime minister expressed hope that the ceasefire agreement would be respected and implemented in its entirety, ensuring relief for the people of Palestine.

Reiterating Pakistan’s solidarity with the Palestinian people, PM Shehbaz paid tribute to the sacrifices of tens of thousands of innocent victims of Israeli aggression over the decades.

“Pakistan reaffirms its call for a two-state solution in line with relevant UN resolutions, advocating the establishment of an independent state of Palestine with pre-1967 borders and Al Quds as its capital,” he added.

The announcement of the ceasefire has been met with global relief, with calls for the urgent restoration of humanitarian aid to mitigate the crisis in Gaza.
