3:48 pm
who said that they will not also tolerate these continuous attacks against the medical person. now and launch these heavy rockets against the settlements as well and we saw that there was images coming out from the settlements how we had huge destruction and lot of areas where you which even led to the killing of settlers and not only uh military personnel. pakistan has hosted a conference on freedom of palestine in the capital islamabad in solidarity with the press palestinians in gaza, the participants called on the international organizations to bring about immediate humanitarian ceasefire. in the visieg territory press tvs correspondent nasser kozmi has more. in a fervent display of solidarity with the oppressed people of gaza, a high profile event dubbed palestine freedom conference was convined in the capital islamabad. political leaders scholars and representatives from various advocacy
