ISLAMABAD - Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas political bureau, has high hopes for the new Pakistani government. He urged this new government could push for a ceasefire with Israel and its allies occupying Gaza.

In a letter addressed to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Haniyeh congratulated Sharif. The two of them also discussed the latest developments on Israeli attacks on Gaza, according to Pakistani media.

The Palestinian official appreciated the efforts made by other countries and organizations to support Palestine, insisting that the Pakistani PM should also put pressure on supporters of the Israeli regime to stop the bloody aggression.

According to Haniyeh, the Israeli occupation regime is deliberately targeting innocent civilians, including children, women and the elderly.

Israel also destroyed mosques, schools, hospitals, residential buildings, roads and other infrastructure to eliminate all signs of life in the isolated territory, he said.

Haniyeh argues that Israeli officials are using hunger as a war weapon against Gazans to achieve their heinous goals, adding that they are also blocking international aid deliveries and even killing Palestinians queuing for aid packages.

More than 31,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, when the Zionist regime launched a war of genocide in Gaza following Hamas' sudden operation against the occupation entity. (Irina-OANA)
