Thank you Pakistan, thank you for such a great presentation of your position. I feel like the Pakistani points debunked and destroyed the UK's argument that the court should not have an opinion between this "2 parties dispute." Free Palestine!! 🇵🇸💙🇵🇸

Love of falastine is in our genes. Our Quaid despite being sick established falastine fund for liberation of falastine in 1948. Quaid e azam had said that ISRAEL IS THE ILLEGITIMATE CHILD OF THE WEST. Which is now fully proved. Pakistan never accepted this illegal colonial settlement and occupation and willnot till qayama.
