Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned Israel's illegal seizure of Syrian territory, saying the assault on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria is a grave breach of international law.

Israel's actions are a dangerous development in an already volatile region, the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, adding that these actions are a violation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions and international law.

Pakistan expresses full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria and rejects Israeli acquisition of territory by force, the statement said.

Pakistan also reiterated that peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved without complete Israeli withdrawal from Palestine and other territories, including the Syrian Golan Heights, according to the foreign ministry.
