Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Saturday praised US President Donald Trump for mediating a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, expressing hope that Trump would take similar steps to help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“It is hoped that President Trump will play a similar historic role in achieving peace and a two-state solution for Palestine,” Asif wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“The innocent Palestinians targeted in Gaza also look forward to President Trump’s intervention for lasting peace,” he added.
“Humanity awaits an end to Zionist atrocities and Palestinian genocide. History will remember him forever.”
At least 14 Palestinians, including nine people seeking aid, were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn, according to local health authorities.
