The statement said Pakistan would underscore the need for the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement and Israel’s complete withdrawal from the Occupied Palestinian Territory, especially Gaza.
“Pakistan will also emphasise the need for the provision of unfettered humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians and the reconstruction of Gaza,” the Foreign Office said.
It added that Islamabad would reiterate the need for collective efforts to achieve an independent, viable and contiguous State of Palestine, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, based on pre-1967 borders and in line with relevant UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.

“Pakistan has been, and will continue to be, committed to efforts to restore peace, justice, and dignity to the Palestinian people, as well as to ensure the realisation of their right to self-determination,” the statement concluded.
The Foreign Office noted that Pakistan, alongside seven other Arab-Islamic countries, has taken part in engagements aimed at securing a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza following the peace initiative that culminated in the Sharm El-Sheikh agreement.
Israel and Hamas signed a landmark ceasefire and hostage-prisoner exchange deal on October 10, the first phase of a US-brokered peace plan aimed at ending two years of devastating war in Gaza that has claimed more than 67,000 Palestinian lives and reshaped Middle East politics.
The agreement — mediated by the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye — commits both sides to halt hostilities, facilitate the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and allow large-scale humanitarian aid into Gaza.
On October 13, mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Turkiye signed a document with US President Donald Trump formalising the Gaza ceasefire deal. The document was signed during an international summit hosted by Egypt at the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, where Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was also present.
