International News: Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif tweeted, 'Pakistan condemns the recent actions of Israeli ministers at Al-Aqsa Mosque. This included ministers as well as a settler group who were escorted by Israeli police. This desecration against one of the holiest sites of Islam is not only an insult to the faith of more than a billion Muslims but is also a direct attack on international law and the collective conscience of humanity.'

Pakistan called Israel shameless

He described the Israeli minister's prayer as a provocation and part of a strategy. Pakistan's PM said that this is a systematic and provocative move by the occupying power, Israel, which is endangering the prospects of peace. Israel's brazen actions are deliberately fueling tensions in Palestine and the wider region. The Middle East is being pushed towards more instability and conflict.

Shahbaz said that Pakistan reiterates its urgent appeal for an immediate ceasefire, an end to all hostilities, and the resumption of a credible peace process. The Prime Minister of Pakistan demanded that Al-Quds al-Sharif be made the capital of Palestine and an independent state in accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions.

Arab Parliament also condemned

Apart from Pakistan, the Arab Parliament has also condemned the visit of Israeli ministers. Only Namaaz is offered in this mosque, and Jews are prohibited from praying here. At present, Israeli security forces are deployed in and around the mosque premises. However, after Givir's visit, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office has made it clear that no changes will be made in the arrangements at the holy place.
