ISLAMABAD: The Pakis­tan Tehreek-i-Insaf has condemned the Israeli massacre of Palestinians in Gaza which left over 600 people, including wo­men and children, dead and thousands others injured.

In a press statement issued here on Tuesday, PTI Chairman Imran Khan said it was absolutely shameful how Israel had been allowed to transgress all international laws and violate basic human rights enshrined in the UN charter and the world powers were also doing nothing to stop Tel Aviv.

Mr Khan said that Israel had indulged in state terrorism against the people of Gaza and abused the principle of self-defence enshrined in Chapter VII Article 51 of the UN charter.

Mr Khan strongly criticised leaders of Muslim states whose silence he said was inexplicable and inexcusable.

“Egypt’s refusal to allow medical assistance to go into Gaza and to prevent fleeing Palestinians from entering the safety of its borders shows the moral bankruptcy of the Arab leadership today,” the statement said.

It quoted Mr Khan as saying that the US and European leaders had also exposed their hypocrisy by defending Israeli massacre of Palestinians in Gaza.
