For as long as the Palestinian question has existed, Pakistan has stood along where many other nations stand: on the side of a people who were displaced, and denied the right to live freely in their own homeland. Our position is not unique. It is part of a wider consensus - shared by countries across the Muslim world, the Global South, and by millions of ordinary people everywhere - that the Palestinians deserve a sovereign state based on the pre?1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
