Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has condemned Israel’s military offensive in Gaza in the strongest possible terms, further expressing his sorrow over the offensive in Rafah.

In a televised address he said, “I cannot condemn what is happening in Gaza enough. At least 36,000 Palestinians have been martyred, including women and children.

“Eight months later, Israel’s bloodthirst remains, as horrendous attacks are ongoing in Rafah, thousands of homes are being destroyed and men, women and children are being martyred.”

He further lamented that the International Court of Justice’s ruling and UN resolutions are being ignored and expressed his dismay that no world power has punished Israel.

“I have never seen such suffering and bloodshed,” he said.
