He said Pakistan steadfastly supports the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination. The Spokesperson said the establishment of an independent, viable and contiguous Palestinian State with pre-1967 borders and Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, in accordance with the relevant UN and OIC resolutions, is imperative for just and lasting peace in the region.
The controversy started when members of some political parties started misinterpreting a statement of Israeli President Isaac Herzog about meeting with Pakistani nationals. Herzog had clearly said that he met with Pakistani expats, who live in the US, and terming the meeting amazing.
