New York: Pakistan’s protest for Palestine at UNGA drew international attention in New York as Syed Zeeshan Naqvi, Prime Minister’s Focal Person for the Youth Program, joined demonstrators outside the United Nations General Assembly. The protest, held during the high-level UNGA session, united voices from multiple countries demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urgent global action against Israeli aggression.
While addressing the crowd, Naqvi called on world leaders to take concrete steps to halt Israel’s military operations. He urged the international community to declare Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a terrorist, citing the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Moreover, he emphasized that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would raise the issue of Israeli atrocities forcefully during his UNGA address.
The demonstration featured powerful slogans against Israel and passionate appeals for humanitarian access to Gaza. Protesters demanded the withdrawal of Israeli forces and unrestricted delivery of food and medical aid. Many held placards calling for justice, peace, and unity among Muslim nations.
In addition, Muslim leaders present at the protest appealed directly to President Trump, urging him to support an immediate ceasefire. They stressed the need for Muslim leadership to unite and present a cohesive front against the violence in Gaza. The protest highlighted growing frustration over the lack of international accountability and the urgency of coordinated diplomatic pressure.
Pakistan’s delegation, led by Naqvi, reaffirmed the country’s commitment to defending Palestinian rights on global platforms. The Pakistan’s protest for Palestine at UNGA served as a powerful reminder that voices from the Muslim world are demanding not just statements—but action.
As the UNGA session continues, Pakistan’s stance remains clear: silence is complicity. This protest is not just symbolic—it’s a call for justice, unity, and global responsibility.
