Special Assistant on Human Rights Mushaal Hussein Mullick has urged the international community to “impose economic and defence sanctions on Israel for unleashing the reign of terror against innocent Palestinians”, Radio Pakistan reports.

Speaking to the media in Rawalpindi, she said war crimes and genocide were taking place against the Palestinians, regretting that nobody was punishing Israel for its crimes, the report said. She added that the perpetrators of war crimes should be prosecuted.

Radio Pakistan quoted the special assistant as saying that “reports suggest that about 100 Palestinian children are being butchered by the Israeli state on a daily basis”.

Mullick demanded an immediate ceasefire, adding that international human rights organisations should also be allowed access to the territory to assess the ground situation.
