Islamabad 'strongly' condemns Israel's 'growing adventurism' in Middle East
Pakistan on Sunday condemned Israel's killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, calling the act a "reckless" escalation in an already volatile region.
"Pakistan strongly condemns the growing Israeli adventurism in the Middle East. Its unbridled attacks on civilian populations and disregard for international law have reached alarming levels," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry criticized Israel for what it called "unacceptable" violations of Lebanese sovereignty, stating that Israeli forces have been relentlessly targeting civilian areas, destabilizing Lebanon and undermining its security.
"We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of Israeli aggression and to the people of Lebanon," the statement added, reiterating Pakistan's solidarity with Lebanon.
Islamabad urged the UN Security Council to take action to restrain Israel and address its violations of international law, calling for the restoration of peace in the Middle East.
Israeli forces launched large-scale airstrikes in Lebanon earlier this week, killing hundreds and displacing thousands. Tensions escalated further after Nasrallah and other Hezbollah commanders were killed in Beirut on Friday.
Israeli bombing of parts of the Lebanese capital continued into Saturday.
