Palestine Solidarity Day observed in Pakistan at government level

Pakistan observed Palestine Solidarity Day today (Friday) to express solidarity with the Palestinian martyred in the recent violence in Gaza. The day was observed upon the directions of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.

In a statement, the Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said Pakistan will continue to support Palestinian brethren on every forum. Special rallies and gatherings will be organised to express solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and to condemn Israel’s state terrorism in Gaza.
Apart from government sponsored rallies, Shia parties MWM, SUC and student organisation ISO and JSO also staged rallies to protest against the Palestinians massacre. Palestine Foundation, JI and other parties also held special programmes to mark solidarity with Palestinians.
Israeli troops shot dead dozens of Palestinian protesters on the Gaza border on Monday when the high-profile opening of the US embassy to Israel in Jerusalem raised the tension to boiling point after weeks of demonstrations.
In the bloodiest single day for Palestinians since 2014, Palestinian Health Ministry officials said 60 protesters were killed and 2,700 injured either by live gunfire, tear gas or other means.
