NEW YORK: Pakistan’s permanent representative to United Nations ambassador Masood Khan has reiterated Pakistan’s unflinching support to the Palestinian people in their continuing quest for their right for an independent state.
In his address at the UN General Assembly, the Pakistani envoy urged the Security Council to work towards resolving the Middle East issue by establishing an independent State of Palestine based on the pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
The Pakistani envoy said that the peace process had collapsed due to the biggest land grab from Israel with development of new settlements.
Masood Khan backed an Arab draft resolution calling for a clear roadmap to end occupation and restore Palestinian freedom.
