Pakistan and Türkiye have expressed concern over Israel’s military actions in Palestine, specifically highlighting the intensifying operations in Gaza and violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. The foreign ministers of both countries discussed the situation during a phone call, according to the Pakistani foreign office. The conversation took place as Israeli forces continue daily attacks in Gaza, with military operations escalating in Palestinian territories despite calls for restraint. The discussions underscore the growing international concern over the conflict’s impact on civilian populations and religious sites (arabnews.pk).
Israeli strikes in Gaza have resulted in casualties, including children, as reported by health officials. The attacks occurred amid ongoing ceasefire talks between mediators and Hamas leaders, aimed at implementing a US-brokered peace plan. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have targeted a mosque in Gaza, claiming it was a Hamas weapons dump. The mosque was reportedly completely destroyed in an airstrike, according to the director general of the Gaza Strip’s ministry of awqaf and religious affairs (nst.com.my).
