Islamabad( The COW News Digital )Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khawaja Asif, has issued a stern warning to the international community, emphasizing that no country should remain complacent in the face of escalating conflicts, citing the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Speaking on Geo News’ program Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath, Asif highlighted the sacrifices of Palestinian civilians, particularly children, and stressed that their suffering will not go in vain.
“The people of Gaza and their children are making sacrifices that the world cannot ignore. I am confident that Muslim nations will extend all possible support to Gaza,” he said, underlining Pakistan’s solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
Asif warned that complacency could have dire consequences, saying, “No nation should be under the illusion that today it is Gaza, tomorrow it will not be their turn. The cycle of conflict can affect everyone if vigilance is not maintained.”
Addressing the technological capabilities of Arab nations, the Defense Minister stated that these countries have access to advanced cyber technologies and should be prepared to face threats collectively. “When the enemy approaches, faith and determination are essential, and Pakistan has proven this time and again,” he added.
Drawing on historical context, Asif referenced Pakistan’s military achievements, noting that the country successfully defended itself against an adversary five times its size, relying not on external protection but on faith and strategic planning. He highlighted that Western politics is often influenced by Zionist power, but Israel’s isolation in regional conflicts is increasingly evident.
The Defense Minister’s remarks come amid rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly after Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza, which have drawn condemnation from several Muslim-majority nations. Asif’s statements reinforce Pakistan’s stance on the Gaza issue and call for greater unity among Muslim countries to counter external aggression.
Khawaja Asif also urged international powers to recognize the underlying geopolitical realities, stressing that unilateral actions without addressing humanitarian concerns would exacerbate regional instability. He reiterated that Pakistan remains committed to supporting oppressed communities while advocating for peaceful resolutions through diplomatic channels wherever possible.
Analysts note that Asif’s statements reflect Pakistan’s broader foreign policy approach, emphasizing moral and religious solidarity alongside strategic preparedness in response to evolving regional dynamics.
