ISLAMABAD - The National Assembly yesterday adopted a unanimous resolution strongly condemning the ongoing heinous wave of atrocities by the Zionist Israeli regime in Gaza and urged the international community to take concrete steps towards recognition and admission of the state of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations (UN).
