• Stresses on permanent solution of Palestine issue
• 34 Palestinians were killed and more than 100 injured in the two-day fight in Gaza

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday condemned the recent Israeli attacks in Gaza that lead to the death of 34 people injuring more than 100.
“Uunarmed and innocent Palestinians (were killed) in military strikes by the occupying Israeli forces,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
Islamabad said the international community has the obligation to take cognizance of these aggressive actions, which are in violation of international law and international humanitarian law.
“Pakistan believes that a permanent solution of the Palestinian issue lies in the establishment of a viable, independent and contiguous state of Palestine, on the basis of internationally agreed parameters, the pre-1967 borders, and with Al-Quds Al Sharif as its Capital,” the statement read.
Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad and Israel agreed to halt hostilities across the Gaza Strip border on Thursday, ending a two-day confrontation that left 34 Palestinians dead and more than 100 injured.
According to the ministry of information, 190 Palestinian houses were damaged and five completely destroyed in the Israeli bombardment. At least 15 schools were also damaged.
