Pakistan Urges Islamic Countries To Put Oil Embargo On Israel

The Deputy PM and Foreign Minister of Pakistan Mohammad Ishaq Dar urged to the members of the Organizations of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to put an oil and trade embargo on the Zionist regime of Israel. An OIC meeting was held in Jeddah, upon a joint request from Pakistan and Iran to discuss the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Ishaq Dar expressed deep concerns over the Israeli aggression in the region and declared strong Pakistan’s support with Iran and Palestine. Notably, Tehran is calling for oil and commercial boycott of the Zionist regime.

Pakistan’s minister said that Iran and Palestine reserve the right to take revenge on the Israeli regime for its crime against humanity. He also said to be careful of Benjamin Netanyahu and his warlike plans to expand the regional war.

Condemning the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the Pakistan’s foreign minister called the act barbaric, shameful, and against the peace and stability of the region.

Calling for an oil and trade embargo on Israel, Pakistan’s deputy PM said, “The time has come to hold the Zionists accountable and the Muslim world must go beyond statements and condemnations. If Israel does not agree to an immediate ceasefire agreement in Gaza, the members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation must act for an oil-commercial boycott of Tel Aviv”.

The foreign minister also called the aggression of the occupying Israeli regime against the defenseless people of Gaza and bombing a ‘Genocide’ and accused Israel of using famine and hunger as a weapon against Palestinians.
