ISLAMABAD, Oct 18 (APP): President Dr Arif Alvi on Wednesday strongly condemning the brutal Israeli attack on Al-Ahly Al-Mamadany Hospital in Gaza, called upon the international community to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes.
Demanding an early ceasefire, he said only a two-state solution with an independent Palestine can solve Israel’s festering criminality in the region.
The president also urged the world community to take urgent measures to bring an immediate halt to the Israeli bombardment and the ongoing siege of Gaza.

He said that Israel had trampled all international and moral norms by killing thousands of innocent people, women and children and then bombing a hospital, where patients were seeking emergency treatment.
President Alvi voiced concern that Israel continued to commit war crimes by indiscriminately targeting civilian populations and health facilities.
The president demanded an immediate ceasefire saying that only a two-state solution with an independent Palestine could solve this festering criminality in the region.
