Pakistan’s Unwavering Voice for Palestine
For decades, Pakistan has stood firm on one principle: Palestine must emerge as a free, sovereign state on the pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as its capital. This position is not a matter of shifting diplomacy—it is a question of justice, dignity, and the undeniable right of an oppressed people to live without the chains of occupation.
A Historical Commitment
Since its inception, Pakistan has aligned its foreign policy with the principle of supporting oppressed nations. From the early days of the UN debates to today’s turbulent Middle East, Islamabad’s voice has remained consistent: no recognition of Israel without justice for Palestinians. This stance has earned Pakistan respect in the Muslim world and beyond, as it reflects moral clarity in an otherwise shifting geopolitical landscape.
Beyond Diplomacy: A Question of Justice
Pakistan’s support for Palestine transcends politics. It is rooted in shared history, cultural ties, and religious solidarity. More importantly, it reflects a moral conviction—that the Palestinian struggle is not only about borders but about human dignity, self-determination, and freedom from occupation.
The call for a Palestinian state on pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds as its capital is not just symbolic. It represents the internationally recognized framework for a just solution. Anything short of that, Pakistan insists, would be a half-measure—one that denies Palestinians their rightful place in the world.
The Global Debate & Pakistan’s Reminder
Today, the world is caught in debates over ceasefires, temporary truces, and “two-state frameworks” diluted by political convenience. Against this backdrop, Pakistan continues to remind the international community of a stark truth: there can be no lasting peace in the Middle East without justice for Palestine.
Conclusion
As bombs fall, settlements expand, and the Palestinian struggle continues, Pakistan’s voice remains clear and unwavering. It is a voice that calls not just for peace, but for a peace built on justice. Until Palestine rises free—with Al-Quds as its rightful capital—the dream of lasting stability in the Middle East will remain unfulfilled.
