AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The patron of Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith Pakistan, Qazi Abdul Qadeer Khamosh, has said that the so-called “Board of Peace” has been formed not for peace but for terrorism and hooliganism, and that it has neither justification nor legal basis.
Speaking to a delegation of religious scholars, he stated that Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people, not to any peace board, and that the real need is to end Israeli occupation. He said it was the height of injustice and hypocrisy that no Palestinian representative had been included in the board, while Israel — which he described as oppressive and brutal — was part of it.
Khamosh added that expecting goodwill from former U.S. President Donald Trump amounts to self-deception. He expressed surprise that Pakistani rulers appeared pleased when Trump praised them in his speeches, warning that the nation might have to pay a heavy price for such praise of the prime minister and the field marshal.
He further said that the people of Pakistan stand with their Palestinian brothers and that joining the Board of Peace goes against the vision of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, as well as the country’s longstanding state policy. He called it contrary to humanity and human rights.
Referring to the United Nations Charter, Khamosh said that people living under occupation have the right to armed struggle against occupying forces, and therefore, Hamas cannot be disarmed under any circumstances. He asserted that Israel is occupying Palestinian land and that Palestinians have the right to reclaim their territory.
He also criticized Muslim rulers for failing to openly support Palestinians, saying that mere statements are not enough. Khamosh concluded that Pakistan must stand firmly with the Palestinian people, warning that history would not forgive otherwise.
