On July 20, 2024, the Pakistani government officially designated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a 'terrorist' and demanded he be brought to justice for war crimes against Palestinians. This declaration marks a significant decline in diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Israel. Rana Sanaullah, Adviser to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, labeled Netanyahu as a 'terrorist and war criminal' and called for his trial. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have welcomed Pakistan's declaration, urging the international community to follow suit. Additionally, Pakistan has formed a committee to identify and boycott businesses supporting Israel and has opened its schools and hospitals to provide education and medical facilities to Palestinians.
