UN to Debate Pakistan's Resolution on Arms Sales to Israel

The United Nations is set to discuss a resolution proposed by Pakistan that seeks to prohibit arms sales to Israel. This resolution, presented on behalf of 55 member countries of the United Nations through the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, has sparked considerable interest and debate globally. The eight-page resolution outlines strict measures for Israel, including an immediate halt to its occupation of Palestinian territories and Gaza. A key aspect of the resolution is the demand for Israel to end its unlawful blockade of the Gaza Strip. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the importance of preventing the sale or transfer of military equipment to Israel to reduce the escalation of conflict in the region.

The proposal has gained significant backing from the majority of OIC member countries, demonstrating a united front in addressing the enduring humanitarian and security issues arising from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This resolution signifies a collective condemnation of the perceived injustices and breaches of international law by Israel, particularly concerning its treatment of the Palestinian populace.
