The unprecedented floods in Pakistan last year and the coincidental chairman-ship of the G77 group had allowed developing nations to lobby extensively for the fund.<\/p>\n<p>In establishing the fund on the first day of the two-week COP28 conference, delegates opened the door for governments to announce contributions.<\/p>\n<p>And several did, kicking off a series of small pledges that countries hoped would build throughout the conference to a substantial sum, including $100 million from the hosting United Arab Emirates, at least $5m from Britain, $17.5m from the United States, and $10m from Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the European Union pledged $245.39m, which included $100m pledged by Germany.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"israeli-atrocities-in-gaza\" href=\"#israeli-atrocities-in-gaza\" class=\"heading-permalink\" aria-hidden=\"true\" title=\"Permalink\"\/>Israeli atrocities in Gaza<\/h2>\n<p>The premier also talked about Israel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1781216\">bombardment<\/a> of the besieged Gaza Strip in response to the October 7 attack by Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>He said that Pakistan, along with Saudi Arabia and other countries, was at the forefront of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation\u2019s platform in demanding the immediate cessation of \u201csenseless violence and aggression\u201d against the Palestinians and the creation of a humanitarian corridor.<\/p>\n<p>He said that sustainable peace in the region was only possible through a two-state solution of the Palestine issue according to the pre-1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital.<\/p>\n<p>Th premier also highlighted that the Kashmir issue remained unresolved for the last seven decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an integral part of Pakistan and it needs to be resolved according to the United Nations Security Council resolutions,\u201d he said.
