Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday expressed optimism over recent developments in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, marking a significant step towards a potential ceasefire.
The Prime Minister, in his message on X, praised the efforts of global leaders, particularly US President Donald Trump, and key Middle Eastern nations, for their diplomatic support in resolving the Palestinian issue.
“Alhamdolillah, we are closer to a ceasefire than we have been since this genocide was launched on the Palestinian people,” wrote Prime Minister Sharif, emphasizing Pakistan’s unwavering support for Palestine in its struggle for peace and justice.
“Gratitude is due to President Trump, as well as to the leaderships of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, and Indonesia who met with President Trump on the sidelines of #UNGA80 for the resolution of the Palestinian issue,” the tweet further stated.
He said the statement issued by Hamas has created a “window for a ceasefire and ensuring peace that we must not allow to close again”.
“InshaAllah, Pakistan will continue to work with all its partners and brotherly nations to everlasting peace in Palestine,” PM Shehbaz concluded.
