Islamabad, MINA – Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned attacks by illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, labeling these actions a “blatant violation” of international law and relevant UN resolutions.
In a statement issued by Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, the government emphasized the critical need to ensure the sanctity of holy sites in accordance with international law and historical norms.
“Pakistan calls upon the international community to take urgent and effective measures to ensure protection of the holy sites, prevent further settler violence and incursions, and uphold relevant UN resolutions,” the statement said.
The condemnation comes amid escalating violence in the region. Over the past two days, the Israeli army has killed two Palestinian youth and injured several others in attacks across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

According to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, illegal Israeli settlers have carried out more than 7,000 attacks against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023.
Palestinian figures show that more than 1,073 Palestinians have been killed and 10,700 others injured in the West Bank during this period.
