Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has condemned Israel’s attacks on Lebanon after the United States, Israel and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire and halt hostilities.
Iran demanded a “cessation of war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic Resistance of Lebanon (Hezbollah)” as part of its 10-point plan, which outlines Iran’s demands and proposals to end the war.
Although Israel halted attacks on Iran, it continued to strike Lebanon. Over 200 people were reportedly killed by Israel’s strikes against Lebanon after the ceasefire agreement.
In a post shared on X on Thursday, Sharif said he spoke with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and condemned Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.

“I spoke with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam of Lebanon this evening. I strongly condemned Israel’s ongoing aggression against Lebanon and offered condolences over the loss of thousands of precious lives in Lebanon as a result of these hostilities,” Shrif wrote.
“I reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to advance peace efforts, including facilitating dialogue through the upcoming Iran–U.S. talks in Islamabad. Grateful to Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, who expressed his appreciation for Pakistan’s peace efforts and underscored the need for our continued support in securing an immediate end to the attacks targeting Lebanon and its people.”
Israel described the attack as the largest wave of air strikes since the Iran war began. It targeted over 100 of what it called Hezbollah command centres and military sites.
The southern suburbs of Beirut, southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley were all targeted. According to the Lebanese health ministry, at least 182 people had been killed, a number that is likely to increase, and 890 were injured.
Sharif, who plays a key role in the US/Israel-Iran war as a mediator and intermediary between the US and Iran, had called for an end to all hostilities among all involved parties. The Iranian Government regards Israel’s strikes against Lebanon as a violation of the ceasefire agreement.
