Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Condemns Israeli Actions in Rafah from Jail
Islamabad, May 28, 2024 — In a powerful and impassioned speech from his prison cell, former Prime Minister of Pakistan issued a vehement condemnation of Israel’s ongoing military actions in Rafah. Addressing the nation and the international community, he labeled the situation as a “massacre” and a “genocide,” criticizing what he described as the apartheid state’s blatant disregard for international laws.
“No condemnation is enough for the massacre being carried out by the apartheid state of Israel in Rafah,” he declared. His words, broadcast live, resonated deeply with many, highlighting the continued and escalating violence in the region. “Israel’s genocide of Palestinians continues unabated in complete violation of all international laws, and despite the ICJ ruling,” he added, emphasizing the failure of international bodies to curb the violence.
The former prime minister did not mince words, calling Israel a “rogue state in all senses of the word,” and accused it of considering itself above all international norms and laws. His statement comes amid a heightened period of conflict and growing international criticism of Israel’s military tactics and humanitarian impact on Palestinian civilians.
This speech has sparked significant reactions globally, with various human rights organizations and political leaders responding to his remarks. While some lauded his courage to speak out from behind bars, others questioned the potential impact of his words on the already tense geopolitical climate.
As the violence in Rafah continues, the former prime minister’s address underscores the urgent need for international intervention and a reassessment of the mechanisms in place to ensure justice and peace in conflict zones. His bold condemnation from prison serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle and the voices that refuse to be silenced, even from the confines of incarceration.
