The regional coordination between Pakistan, Turkiye, and Iran underscores growing pressure on the international community to move beyond statements and take real action in Gaza. The renewed calls for a two-state solution, endorsed at the UN, offer a framework for lasting peace.
The shared message is clear: innocent lives must be protected, and international law must prevail. As Gaza faces one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent memory, Pakistan and its allies are working to ensure that diplomacy leads to relief—and ultimately, resolution.
