ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the Senate Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Wednesday said that the issue of Palestine was the oldest and most unresolved issue in the Middle East, which has caused massive destruction so far while the barbarities unleashed by Israel were in negation of any law.
“Due to this, the situation in the entire Middle East is tense. The situation in recent days is extremely deplorable as hundreds of innocent Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed and scores injured in Israeli shelling and violence,” he said.
Speaking at a webinar on Palestinian-Israeli issue organised by an NGO, he said that such aggression was reprehensible and now a peaceful solution to this problem had become imperative. He added that innocent civilians have been subjected to cruelty and barbarism in Al Aqsa Mosque.

ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in the Senate Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani said the PML-N did not want to resign but wanted to put a blame of not resigning on the PPP.
“The PML-N did not intend to resign from the Parliament but only want to only put a blame on us,” he said while talking to the newsmen on Wednesday. Gilani said the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the PPP will discuss all these issue. “If the CEC of the PPP asked to resign, the PML-N will not resign,” he said.
Asked about reports of reopening of Swiss case against former president Asif Ali Zardari, Gilani said Swiss cases are now shut cases. “The opening of case against Zardari just a mischievous attempt,” he said. He said if he wrote a letter being prime minister at that time then Article 6 would imply on him.
