00:00to show our complete solidarity with the people of Palestine and the atrocities committed

00:11by Israel in Gaza for the last one year, genocide.

00:18We strongly condemn this barbaric act on the part of Israel and I have come here to convey

00:28the feelings of the people of Pakistan, that their hearts beat with the hearts of our Palestinian

00:36brothers and sisters.

00:39This is, in the last one year, 41,000 Palestinians have been martyred, young boys, babies, girls,

00:51fathers, brothers, cities after cities have been razed to ground, towns, villages, hospitals,

01:02schools, infrastructure.

01:04I think this kind of terrible act of barbarism hasn't been witnessed by mankind, not only

01:17in recent history, for, I think, for ages and time has come that we must all get together

01:25and in a united fashion we should demand two things, immediate ceasefire in Gaza, immediate

01:34ceasefire in Gaza and creation of a state of Palestine, without which, without that

01:45peace will not return in this part of the world and if this situation is allowed to

01:52linger on for a period of time, then, God forbid, things can become very, very tense

02:00around the globe.

02:01What is the message to the Palestinian people from Pakistan?

02:06The message is that the sacrifices of Palestinian brothers and sisters, their patience, their

02:15bravery will not go waste and, inshallah, it will result in an independent state of

02:22Palestine.

02:23What would you say about the response of the Muslim world?

02:26I'll say one thing, Pakistan, since the very, very beginning, I mean before 1948, till now

02:35their position is fully with the Palestinian people and they help the Palestinian people

02:42as much as they can, not only, for instance, students or helping or tents, no, in the international

02:56community the position of Pakistan is the same, full support to Palestine.
