He said the unresolved Palestinian question remains at the core of instability in the Middle East, stressing that decades of Israeli occupation have resulted in dispossession, repression and the denial of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination. At the same time, Ambassador Asim Ahmad voiced deep concern over the fragile situation in Gaza, with ceasefire violations continuing unabated and civilian lives remaining at risk. “That is ultimate goal supported by the international community. Palestinian-led governance and institutional strengthening – with a central role of the Palestinian Authority, are indispensable in this regard,” the Pakistani envoy added.
