The Pakistani Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it should lead to establish a sovereign State of Palestine based on the borders before June 1967, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.

Islamabad also called for the immediate and complete implementation of the truce in Gaza, which they considered important for a permanent ceasefire and an increase in humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by Israel’s military incursion.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the indiscriminate use of force by the Israeli occupation forces has caused an unprecedented loss of lives and property, as well as the displacement of hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians. He also stressed that Israel’s expansionist plans have destabilized the entire region.

American media reported on Wednesday the agreement between Israel and Hamas, which was reached after a week of intense negotiations mediated by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt.

The Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the news, while the Islamist group limited itself to saying that it presented its response to the Egyptian and Qatari mediators.

The end of the fighting, at least temporarily, will allow a respite to the more than two million Palestinians who live in the Gaza Strip after 15 months of aggression, which caused more than 46 thousand deaths and over 109 thousand wounded.
