At the emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar called for an oil and trade embargo against Israel due to the killing of the political leader of Hamas and the situation in Gaza, reports Iran Today.

He expressed the solidarity of—Azerbaijan’s ally—Pakistan with Iran and Palestine, supporting Tehran's call to boycott Israel.

"The time has come to hold the Zionists [i.e. Israel] 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," Dar said in his remarks.

Also, Pakistan's FM emphasized that the continued aggression of Israel against the civilians of Gaza and its bombing campaign is a genocide. Mohammad Ishaq Dar accused Israel of simultaneously using “famine and hunger as a weapon against the Palestinians.”
