The Pakistani Senate pleaded on the Muslim Ummah on Wednesday to take a proactive role in ending the current war between Gaza and Israel and to give immediate aid to the defenceless Muslims who are being attacked by Israel. During a heated discussion of the motion, Senator Irfan Siddiqui expressed his profound concern about the Muslim world’s collective silence regarding the Gaza issue. He bemoaned the absence of aggressive steps taken in properly addressing the matter and opposing Israel by powerful institutions such as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League. Senator Siddiqui underlined, “The silence of the Muslim world is deafening,” highlighting the gravity of the situation in which thousands of people, including children, are victims of violence on a daily basis without any significant involvement.
