Foreign Minister said while talking to the media that “about 95 countries and organizations will express their views for today’s meeting on Palestine”.

He revealed that it was earlier thought that today’s meeting would be for three hours but this meeting will exceed.

Shah Mahmood said that he will highlight Pakistan’s stance on the Palestine issue as the Palestinian Foreign Minister said that 125 bombs were dropped on Gaza in 25 minutes last night in Gaza.

“I will present the full view of Pakistan in the General Assembly,” Foreign Minister.

Qureshi thanked Saudi Foreign Minister for coming to support Palestine today.

PTI leader Farrukh Habib via Twitter told the nation,

“Tonight at approximately 8 pm FM Shah Mehmood Qureshi will address #UNGA75 focused only on the devastating situation Palestinian’s are facing and serious concerns of the Muslim Ummah.”
