Message to General Hafez-Al-Assad, president of the Syrian Arab Republic and Mr. Suleman Franjieh, President of Lebanon, on June 26, 1972

Last week’s Israeli raid across the border of Lebanon resulting in loss of valuable human lives and injuries to innocent civilians and abduction of Lebanese and Syrian Officers has deeply shocked the Government and people of Pakistan who once again reiterate their solidarity with the Arab brethren in their struggle against Zionism we strongly condemns this dastardly act which would surely be deplored by all peace-loving peoples throughout the world. We hope that in the discharge of its responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security the Security Council would condemn these acts of aggression, secure release of officers and adopt effective measures to prevent Israel from again disrupting peace in the region.
