Israel has usurped the First Qibla of the Muslims and the territories of Palestine.
The United Nations, international Forces and leading human rights organizations have turned a blind eye on the blood shed as a result of Zionist terrorism in Palestine.
Allah crushed the pride of Israel through the Palestinian freedom fighters, and since then Israel has been burning in retaliation and has launched the worst aggression of this century in Gaza.
Israel cares neither about the laws of war nor about the worst situation of the human rights.
Israeli bombardment has not spared the civilian population, innocent citizens, hospitals, schools, ambulances, aid workers, all are under the fire of its terror.
It is also very sorrowful that America, India, Britain and other Western countries stand with the Israel in its worst atrocities and Human rights organizations are silent over Israeli cruelties.
Amidst the prevailing bombardment in Gaza, there is fear of a major human tragedy in Gaza, said Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi.
The United Nations must take immediate action on the situation and stop Israel from massacre of the Palestinians.
Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi said that today the Muslims of the whole world are with the Palestinian brothers.
Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi praised the efforts and position of the leaderships of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Iran, Kuwait, Egypt and Jordan stating that Saudi Arabia as the head of the OIC should play its leadership role for the issue of Palestine and Kashmir.
Hafiz Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi further pointed out that Saudi Arabia will not want any solution without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state adding that even today, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman is playing an important role to make coordination for the relations between Muslim countries, God willing,
it has been made clear at the world that the world leadership will have to recognize an independent Palestinian state.
He said that the Palestine Solidarity Conference will be held in Islamabad on October 18, 2023.
