ISLAMABAD — The Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, has urged Pakistan and other Muslim-majority countries to move beyond words and take concrete action to protect civilians in Gaza, calling for coordinated measures that could include the deployment of forces solely to ensure the safety and relief of Palestinians.
Qalibaf, speaking during his recent official visit to Pakistan, argued that the crisis in Gaza demands practical solidarity not only diplomatic statements. He said Muslim nations carry a moral and humanitarian responsibility to help end the suffering, protect civilians, and ensure uninterrupted delivery of aid.
In his remarks, the parliament speaker suggested that Islamic countries consider working together on a joint strategy that could combine political pressure, humanitarian assistance and security measures to open safe corridors and protect families trying to flee the fighting. He emphasized that such coordinated action could help reduce casualties and prevent further displacement.
Qalibaf also stressed the importance of solidarity with Palestinians at a time when many across the Muslim world are closely watching events and feeling profound concern. He urged that aid must reach Gaza without delay and called on governments to press for respect of international humanitarian law.
While Qalibaf framed his appeal in humanitarian terms focusing on protection, relief and the safety of civilians his comments are likely to prompt debate among regional capitals about the legal, political and logistical implications of any military or security deployments. Observers note that any such moves would require broad political consensus and careful coordination with international agencies to avoid escalation.
The speaker said the immediate priority must be saving lives, supporting displaced families and creating conditions in which Palestinians can live with dignity and security. He called on Pakistan, Iran and other Islamic nations to translate public sympathy into tangible, concerted measures that make a real difference on the ground.
