Over the course of the conference, both Pakistan and Turkey will try to urge the Islamic states to strongly condemn this tragedy and craft a strategy to find a peaceful way of resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict.

According to a diplomatic source, this incident has been discussed between Pakistan and Turkey’s prime ministers and both the countries will soon make diplomatic contact with all the key countries over the matter. The two countries along with the international community will seek to increase pressure on Israel and US by using OIC’s platform to ensure a peaceful future.

Qasim | 6 years ago | Reply We muslim countries should start a campaign for financial boycott of both Israel and USA. If all of muslim countries boycott them and retrieve all money from their banks that would bring them back on feet if not on knees.
