Israel has been occupying Palestine for 80 years. It's Israel who shoots and bombs and kills Palestinians for many decades. Why did your forefathers resist the British or were you expecting them to always keep their head down to serve their white Lords? It's funny how quickly Sanghi fanatics make a uturn the moment you give similar example to their history. Not that you Indians particularly sanghi bhakts have learned much from your recent history as you love serving your beloved European Saars, hence the phookat ka love for the Nazi euro colonziers occupying Palestine.
And before replying perhaps do check that around 700 killed on 10/7 were actually IDF (Israel Genocide Force) Terorrists so that's not a bad thing as those terrorists occupy and kill Palestinains. And IDF did blindly shoot at civilians, go read up eye witness account instead of fox news and Godi gobbar islamophobic medias. But you are the clan which believes that people from the caves took down twin towers, the same ignorant illogical boons who never have an answer to why did WTC7, third tower went down on its own? O yes "conspiracy", Sanghis aren't expected to have brain cells to process facts

PM Shehbaz condemns Israeli plan to take control of Gaza city
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday strongly condemned the Israeli cabinet’s recent approval of a plan to take control of Gaza City, calling the move illegal, illegitimate, and a dangerous escalation in the ongoing conflict in Palestine.
In a statement posted on his official X account, the prime minister warned that the development would further worsen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and derail any remaining prospects for peace in the region.
“We strongly condemn the Israeli cabinet’s approval of a plan to take illegal and illegitimate control of Gaza City. This amounts to a dangerous escalation in an already catastrophic war against the people of Palestine,” PM Shehbaz stated.
He stressed that the root cause of the conflict is Israel’s longstanding illegal occupation of Palestinian territories, which continues to obstruct any meaningful path toward lasting peace. “As long as this occupation endures, peace will remain elusive,” he added.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people, the Prime Minister reiterated their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, in line with United Nations and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) resolutions.
Calling on the international community, PM Sharif urged urgent intervention to stop Israel’s “unwarranted aggression,” to protect innocent civilians, and to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

I don’t think this is factually correct. The figure of 25,000 is an exaggeration and it was most likely between 3-10 thousand people killed. Additionally, this number of people were killed from the fighting between the Jordanian army and the PLO and not by Pakistani soldiers. I’m no fan of Zia but CIA sources claim that the Pakistanis were there to advise King Hussain and not to participate in the fighting and their numbers was not large.

Pakistan does not have any J-15s. Additionally, even if it wanted to, it does not have the logistical capability to send its fighters. The only two nations that can force project are either the US or China. No other country has that capability today. Pakistan doesn’t even have the capability to fly its fighters all the way to Israel as fuel would run out. The only thing it can most likely do apart from use Nukes is secretly supply Gaza with weapons but even that is near impossible due to the Israeli blockade that is controlling the Gazan airspace, waters and land borders. Israel even controls the Rafah border on the Egyptian side where aid trucks instead of entering directly into Gaza from Egypt have to drive a few miles in a queue to an Israeli checkpoint for checks before driving back all the way and entering Gaza and this was before the current blockade and starvation.
So to summarise, even if Pakistan wanted to do anything, it doesn’t have the capability. If it did, it still wouldn’t do anything since everyone is scared of the US. There is no country on this planet that would challenge the US including China which is still waiting to gain control of Taiwan. Attacking Israel would result in a major US response. So the only thing anyone can do is give useless speeches.

You need to read what Israeli newspapers such as Haaretz has said about this along with Jewish journalists such as Max Blumenthal.
According to sources, approximately, 1,175 people were killed on Oct 7th, of these were 725 civilians (including 36 children) and the rest were security personnel. So it’s not 1,000s as you say.
Furthermore, as per the Israeli Hannibal directive, Israeli helicopter gunships killed their own people (the destruction of vehicles, houses shows that Hamas did not have this capability) so the figures between what the Militants kills and what the IDF killed is blurred. Hamas’s plan was to target Israeli military installations and not civilians, however, Hamas were not the only militant group involved with other more ruthless terrorists also managing to cross-over who participated in the killing and kidnapping.
You also had Gazan civilians entering Israel as well who also participated. The whole thing was chaotic and the music festival happening near the border of Gaza drew attention.
I’m not excusing what happened and disagree with targeting civilians, but any oppressed people have the right to self-defence. However, that self-defence should be in line with international law and Oct 7th clearly wasn’t.
As to the point about why they did it, they have been oppressed, occupied and under siege and blockade since 1967. In between this period, Israel routinely ‘mows the lawn’ and kills Gazans. In fact in the last few years before Oct 7th, Israel has killed a high number of Palestinian civilians with no cause and the perpetrators get a slap on the wrist and the excuse is that the victims were a security threat with no independent investigations. Also, Israel has thousands of Palestinians locked up in jails without trial and if there is a trial it is to a military court and not a civilian court. How is this any different to kidnapping? Some of these are children in Israeli jails and newspapers have come out with evidence of rape and torture in these prisons.
And now in response, Israel is committing genocide. This is not me saying it but leading humanitarian organisations around the world including Israeli ones as well as genocide scholars, including those from Israel.
The Palestinian occupation is one of the longest going occupation in modern history that has no end in sight.

As for the claims of human shields, Gaza is an extremely narrow strip of land with limited space to separate militants/terrorists with the civilian population. Additionally, a lot of the claims of human shields have been debunked by international news organisations where the IDF claimed there were tunnels under hospitals or Hamas operating in schools, etc. The main point is that Israel does not allow foreign independent journalists in to Gaza so none of what it claims can be verified. If there is nothing to hide, let foreign journalists in.
There is also reports of international Drs that are saying that children’s bodies have sniper headshots. How can they claim human shields but then snipe children. They also have zones where anyone including civilians that enters this zone is killed by drones with AI being used to carry out threat assessment. There was a video of this where two unarmed men were shot by drones. What about the incident where the IDF shot at ambulances and then buried them including the civilians and paramedics they had killed (buried the whole ambulances). This was only discovered because one of the Palestinians phone was found with the video recording.

FM Dar presents 7 urgent and essential steps for Gaza crisis
FM Dar has presented the following seven urgent and essential steps for the Gaza crisis:
An immediate, permanent and unconditional ceasefire across Gaza and occupied Palestinian territory with full implementation of UNSC resolutions.
Unfettered, sustained and secure humanitarian access to all civilians in need and the protection of aid workers, medical teams and UN personnel.
Reinforce international support to UNRWA, which remains indispensable to the survival of millions of Palestinians, with the OIC playing a proactive role in this end.
An end to forced displacement, illegal settlements and annexation of Palestinian land, particularly in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The implementation of the OIC’s reconstruction plan for Gaza, which represents a vital framework for post-conflict recovery and rehabilitation, sustainable development and the restoration of dignity of the people of Palestine.
The revival of a genuine process to achieve a just, comprehensive and a lasting two-state solution in accordance with intl law and relevant UN and OIC resolutions.
Accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity
Dar said Israel’s aim to occupy Gaza City would be a deliberate attempt to obliterate Palestinian existence and heritage that must be firmly opposed.
He also said that Israel must not be allowed to act with impunity in defiance of the UN Charter, international law and binding measures of the ICJ.

Pakistan reaffirms support for Palestine
Pakistan on Tuesday reaffirmed its historic solidarity with the Palestinian people and reiterated support for the establishment of an independent, viable, and contiguous Palestinian state, based on pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, in accordance with relevant UN and OIC resolutions.
Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and Foreign Minister (FM) Ishaq Dar represented Pakistan at the High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France.
The conference gained particular significance as several countries, including France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Portugal, announced their recognition of the State of Palestine, reinforcing global consensus on the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and statehood.
Welcoming these announcements, the DPM urged all countries that have yet to recognize Palestine to take similar steps in accordance with international law. He stressed that Pakistan has consistently supported Palestine's cause since it was among the first countries to recognize the State of Palestine in 1988.
Pakistan also endorsed the Conference's Outcome Document, the New York Declaration, reaffirming its commitment to a just and lasting peace. Dar emphasized that the declaration must be followed by concrete international actions to end decades of conflict and achieve stability in the Middle East.
Pakistan reaffirms support for Palestine
Separately, Pakistan reaffirmed its commitment to strengthen the Commonwealth role in tackling global challenges and advancing collective prosperity.
The DPM addressed the Commonwealth Foreign Affairs Ministers Meeting (CFAMM).
Welcoming the Secretary-General to her first CFAMM since assuming office in April 2025, Dar commended her efforts in accelerating the implementation of CHOGM-2024 outcomes and pushing forward reforms to reinvigorate the organization.
He highlighted the importance of the forum as a platform for dialogue, peace-building, and cooperation in the face of overlapping global crises such as conflicts, climate change, economic vulnerabilities, and disruptive technologies.
Meanwhile, Dar also called for strengthened partnership between the OIC and the UN to advance a culture of peace and tolerance.
He drew attention to the contemporary challenges facing the Muslim Ummah, including conflicts in Palestine and Kashmir.
The FM also met the Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi, on the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly session.

Sharif calls war on Gaza ‘one of the most heart wrenching tragedies of our time’
The Pakistani prime minister decried the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Israel’s “genocidal onslaught” in Gaza.
He directly addressed the killing of Hind Rajab, a six-year-old Palestinian girl killed as her family fled Gaza City. Her story has been one of the most enduring atrocities of the war.
“We have all heard her trembling voice on that phone call, which little Hind made as she struggled to stay alive under Israeli onslaught,” he said.
“Can you imagine that that little girl, Hind Rajab, as if she was our daughter?” he said, calling for an end to the war.

Former JI senator Mushtaq Ahmad to stand before Israeli court
The Foreign Office, in a satement released on X, said that confirmation has been received via diplomatic sources in a friendly European country that former Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan is safe and in the custody of the Israeli occupying forces.
Mushtaq Ahmad Khan was arrested by Israeli forces while aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, as confirmed on October 2. Ahmad was leading the five-member Pakistani delegation as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
"We have been further advised that, in accordance with local procedures, Ahmad will be presented before a court. Upon the issuance of deportation orders, his repatriation will be facilitated on a fast-track basis."
According to the statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already taken steps for the safe return of individuals who separated from the flotilla in the initial phase.
In a post on X, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, a senior member of Jamaat-i-Islaami, confirmed his conversation with the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, saying he had urged the premier to “accelerate efforts” for the release and recovery of Mushtaq Ahmad Khan. He said the prime minister informed him that Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had been assigned this responsibility.

Mushtaq Ahmad expected to be evacuated in 'next couple of days': FO
Foreign Office said on Monday that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is making "tireless efforts" to secure the release of former senator Mushtaq Ahmad, who was detained by Israeli forces during the interception of the Gaza aid flotilla.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, through its embassy in Amman, is working tirelessly to secure the safe evacuation of former senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan,” read the press release issued by the FO.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs hoped that the process for the former lawmaker’s evacuation would be completed in the "next couple of days" with the assistance of the Jordanian government.
“With the invaluable assistance of the Jordanian government, we are hopeful that the process can be successfully concluded within the next couple of days,” the FO added.
“We are deeply grateful to the brotherly government of Jordan for their exemplary cooperation and generous support.”
Earlier on Sunday, the FO said that Pakistan was actively engaged with international partners to ensure the safety and repatriation of its citizens.
"Through the diplomatic channels of a friendly European country, we have confirmed that former senator Mushtaq Ahmed is in the custody of the Israeli occupying forces and is safe and in good health," read the press statement.
It further added that Pakistan authorities were told that the ex-senator will be presented before a court and, upon the issuance of deportation orders, his repatriation will be facilitated on a "fast-track basis."
Ahmed was detained by Israeli forces while taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla on October 2, whose multiple vessels were carrying aid to the war-torn territory currently under Israeli blockade.
The ex-senator, who was leading a five-member Pakistani delegation, joined the flotilla alongside international activists and humanitarian aid groups.
However, the Israeli military intercepted more than 40 flotilla vessels, some 42.5 nautical miles (79 km) from Gaza and detained more than 450 activists aboard the vessels.
Tel Aviv has since faced widespread criticism from countries around the world.

Former senator Mushtaq Ahmad released from Israeli captivity, arrives in Jordan: Dar
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar took to X to confirm that Jamaat-i-Islami former Senator Mushtaq Ahmad has been released and is now safely with the Pakistan Embassy in Amman, Jordan.
"The Embassy stands ready to facilitate his return to Pakistan, in accordance with his wishes and convenience."
Dar also expressed gratitude to all countries who "actively engaged and assisted" the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan in retrieving Senator Mushtaq from Israeli custody.
Mushtaq Ahmad Khan was arrested by Israeli forces while aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, as confirmed on October 2. Ahmad was leading the five-member Pakistani delegation as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
The FO in a post on Monday had stated that through its Embassy in Jordan were "working tirelessly to secure the safe evacuation of former Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan," and that his return is expected "within the next few days."
The statement had also warned that the FO had been advised "In accordance with local procedures, Ahmad will be presented before a court."
The Global Sumud Flotilla, transporting medicine and food to Gaza, consisted of more than 40 civilian boats with about 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and activists.
Greta Thunberg deported from Israel
Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, who was also aboard the flotilla and detained by Israel, arrived in Greece to a cheering pro-Palestinian crowd on Monday after being deported from Israel.
Israel said it expelled 171 activists on Monday including Thunberg, bringing the total deported over so far to 341, out of 479 people it detained when it captured the flotilla attempting to break its naval blockade of Gaza.

The Greek Foreign Ministry said 161 of the activists arrived on a flight to Athens on Monday, including Thunberg, 22. They included 27 Greeks, as well as citizens of nearly 20 other countries.
"Let me be very clear. There is a genocide going on," Thunberg told the crowd at the Athens airport referring to Israeli military action in Gaza.
"Our international systems are betraying Palestinians. They are not even able to prevent the worst war crimes from happening," she said. "What we aimed to do with the Global Sumud Flotilla was to step up when our governments failed to do their legal obligation."
The activists attempted to reach Gaza in scores of vessels to bring aid supplies and draw attention to the plight of Gaza, where most of the 2.2 million residents have been driven from their homes and the United Nations says hunger is rampant.
Israel, which rejects accusations it is carrying out genocide in Gaza and says reports of hunger there are exaggerated, has dismissed the flotilla as a publicity stunt benefitting Hamas. It had previously detained Thunberg at sea in a similar attempt to breach the blockade in June.
Earlier, Swiss and Spanish activists from the flotilla said they were subjected to inhumane conditions during their detention by Israeli forces.
Israel's foreign ministry issued a statement, accompanied by photos of Thunberg at the airport, saying all participants' legal rights had been upheld and the only violence involved an activist who bit a female medic at Israel's Ketziot prison.
Deported activists allege mistreatement
Among nine members of the flotilla who arrived home in Switzerland, some alleged sleep deprivation, lack of water and food, as well as some being beaten, kicked, and locked in a cage, the group representing them said in a statement.
Spanish activists also alleged mistreatment on their arrival in Spain late on Sunday after being deported.
"They beat us, dragged us along the ground, blindfolded us, tied our hands and feet, put us in cages and insulted us," lawyer Rafael Borrego told reporters at Madrid's airport.
Swedish activists said on Saturday that Thunberg wasshoved and forced to wear an Israeli flag during her detention, while others said they had clean food and water withheld and had their medication and belongings confiscated.
After she arrived in Athens, Thunberg said she could "talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment, trust me, but that is not the story".
"What happened here was that Israel, while continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an entire population, an entire nation in front of our very eyes, they once again violated international law by preventing humanitarian aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved."
Israel says claims are complete lies
Israel's foreign ministry has described widespread reports of detainees being mistreated after the flotilla was intercepted as "complete lies".
A spokesperson told Reuters over the weekend that all detainees were given access to water, food, and restrooms, adding: "they were not denied access to legal counsel and all their legal rights were fully upheld".
On Sunday, the Swiss Embassy in Tel Aviv visited 10 Swiss nationals and said all were "in relatively good health, given the circumstances".
Former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, who was also on the flotilla, said there had been "mistreatment, but that was nothing compared to what the Palestinian people suffer every day".

Ex-senator Mushtaq departs for Pakistan
The Pakistan embassy in Jordan said late on Wednesday that former Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan, who was detained by Israel last week after it intercepted a flotilla of boats carrying aid for Gaza, had safely departed for Pakistan.
Ahmad led the Pakistani delegation on the 45-vessel Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which left Spain last month to break Israel’s blockade of aid to Gaza with activists and politicians, including Greta Thunberg, on board. However, as it approached Gaza, Israeli forces intercepted it, detaining the activists on board before deporting them.
In a post on social media platform X, the embassy said the former senator had safely departed for Pakistan.
“In accordance with the instructions of the honorable deputy prime minister of Pakistan, the embassy of Pakistan in Amman ensured all necessary arrangements were made for his safe and smooth departure,” it said.
The X account for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also reposted the embassy’s post.
Earlier on Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar spoke with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Jordan Ayman Safadi.
According to the foreign ministry, Dar appreciated Jordan’s role in receiving the flotilla’s released detainees and facilitating their return home.
“He also thanked Jordan for its assistance in enabling the return of former senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan to Amman,” it said, adding that Mushtaq was scheduled to reach Pakistan today.
On Tuesday, Dar had stated that Khan had been released and was safely with the embassy in Amman. He also said that he had spoken to the ex-senator on arrival in Islamabad from Malaysia.
“Senator Mushtaq is fine and in high spirits. I lauded the courage and steadfastness of senator Mushtaq for being part of the Sumud Flotilla in support of the Palestinian cause, to break the siege to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza,“ he said.
“Senator Mushtaq thanked for the efforts made by the Pakistan Foreign Office in reaching out to him in Tel Aviv, Israel through a friendly European country’s mission there and for the full support and facilitation for his stay and safety in Amman by Pakistan embassy,” he said.
Meanwhile, the former senator had also posted a video on his X account on Tuesday in which he stated that the fight against the Israeli blockade was not over.
“I have reached Jordan along with 150 of my companions,” he said, adding that he had finally been released from Israeli detention.
“During this time, our hands were cuffed behind our backs, our feet were shackled and chained, we were blindfolded, dogs were set upon us, guns were pointed at us, and we were tortured in the worst way,” he said.
He said that the activists went on a hunger strike for three days, adding that they were denied access to air, drinking water, medication, and were not allowed to lie down.
“We have been freed,” he said. “And the fight for Palestinian freedom will continue. We will break this blockade. We will go again and again. We will make efforts to save Gaza, and those who are complicit in this genocide — those criminals will be punished,” he asserted.
He emphasised that the fight would continue “from Adiala jail to Israeli jails”, promising that he would return to Pakistan soon and provide a detailed account of his time on the flotilla as well as in Israeli detention.
