Pakistani parliament condemns Israeli attacks on Lebanon
5/8/2006 10:28

Pakistani parliament Friday passed a resolution condemning the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and killing of innocent people there by its forces describing it genocide of humanity.

The National Assembly, Lower House of the Parliament, in the resolution expressed complete solidarity and integrity with the people and government of Lebanon in this difficult time and asked the government to provide all possible support to the people of Lebanon.

"The National Assembly strongly condemns barbaric bombing, shelling and naked aggression from Israel and its supporters against the innocent and defenseless people of Lebanon and Palestine and view it as repressive and brutal steps against humanity. Such actions are blatant violation of international laws and human values," the resolution said, calling for immediate ceasefire.

"The National Assembly expresses its profound grief and sorrow over the use of destructive weapons by Israeli troops on the innocent Lebanese, especially children, women and old people," it said, adding that the continuous attacks also completely destroyed the infrastructure of Lebanon and Gaza, airports, highways, roads, hospitals and educational institutions.

The resolution called upon the United Nations and its Security Council to play its effective role in immediating ceasefire and stopping brutalities in Lebanon.
