Why it matters:
The call for unity highlights growing frustration with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other Muslim-majority nations' response to the crisis in Gaza. It also underscores Pakistan’s longstanding position defending Palestine.
The big picture:
The Israeli regime has renewed genocide in Gaza after violating the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The situation, as Khan says, is a direct result of Muslim nations’ failure to present a united front against the Israeli regime.
What he’s saying:
Khan on Muslim power: "If we fully utilize the resources Allah has given us, we can become a global superpower."
On the OIC: "It is not active enough. We must go beyond personal interests and fight for the collective good of the Muslim Ummah."
On the Palestinian crisis: "Israel has once again violated the ceasefire and martyred Hamas leaders. The Muslim world must wake up and act."
On the path forward: "This is an opportunity for the Ummah to unite, for the OIC to step up, and I believe ultimate victory belongs to Muslims."
Go deeper:
Pakistan has consistently supported Palestine at international forums, but internal divisions within the Muslim world have hindered unified action. While Islamabad continues diplomatic efforts, voices like Khan’s are pushing for stronger, more coordinated action to counter global efforts to weaken Muslim nations economically and politically.
