Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif decried the international community’s silence on Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, saying that the world did not play effective role for the ceasefire in the region.
Addressing a ceremony held in honour of Palestinian students in Pakistan, the PM said: “Israel continues committing genocide against innocent Palestinians.”
Expressing his disappointment, the prime minister said the resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the International Court of Justice appeared ineffective against Israel.
Moving on to the students, the premier said: “Pakistan is your home as much as it is mine.” He told the Palestinian students that it is your second home.
Shehbaz Sharif said more students from Gaza should be invited to study and live in Pakistan, where they can receive quality education in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, and Islamabad.
The Prime Minister assured the Palestinian students that they will be provided with quality education free of cost. He also commended various Non-Governmental Organizations like the Al-Khidmat Foundation for helping the war-affected students from Palestine.
Shehbaz Sharif told the Palestinian students that Pakistan is their second home and no stone will be left unturned to make their stay in the country comfortable.
Earlier, Prime Minister’s Coordinator on Health, Dr. Mukhtar Bharath, briefed that over one hundred students from Palestine have arrived in Pakistan to continue their studies.
The Palestinian students also thanked the Prime Minister and the people of Pakistan for their generosity.
