Gaza violence is live televised genocide in modern history: Mushahid

ISLAMABAD: Former Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed said that ‘Palestinians armed resistance to brutal Israeli occupation was fully justified under International Law and the UN Charter.

“Palestine is part of Pakistani DNA,” he said while in his address to three day International Conference on Palestine in Istanbul in Turkey inaugurated by President Erdogan, is being attended by parliamentarians and political leaders from 80 countries.

Mushahid said the ‘people and entire political parties of Pakistan support the just cause of Palestine, as Pakistan’s policy on Palestine was first enunciated by the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, even before the independence of Pakistan’. Condemning the Gaza genocide by Israel, Mushahid termed it the ‘first live televised genocide in modern history’, adding that ‘both Muslim regimes and West countries have let down the Palestinians, except for public opinion in Muslim and Western countries’. He said the ‘Al Aqsa Storm’ unleashed by Hamas on October 7 has altered the global political landscape, especially in the Middle East by shattering the myth of Israeli invincibility’.Mushahid urged an immediate ceasefire & steps to establish an independent Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.
