The local newspaper of the Jewish state of Israel, The Times of Israel, has declared Imran Khan as the most suitable figure to promote relations between Pakistan and Israel.
According to details, the Israeli newspaper The Times of Israel has heaped praises on former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan. An article published in The Times of Israel stated that Imran Khan’s familial connection with the Jewish Goldsmith family holds significance.
The article highlights that the marriage between the PTI founder, Imran Khan, and Jemima Goldsmith is a fact. Imran Khan has the potential to change the current nature of relations between Pakistan and Israel. He is seen as a suitable personality for fostering bilateral relations.
The article further mentions that during Imran Khan’s tenure, a practical approach was adopted in foreign relations. It suggested that Imran Khan might be more open-minded and flexible when it comes to reviewing Pakistan’s stance on Israel. The Times of Israel demanded that Israel and its allied nations, including the USA, Canada, and the UK, should ensure that Imran Khan has the freedom to participate in Pakistani politics.
What is the reality?
The truth is that there are no bilateral relations between Pakistan and Israel. It is explicitly written on Pakistani passports that they are valid for all countries except Israel, which reflects the country’s foreign policy.
The national foreign policy clearly states that Pakistan does not recognize Israel, as it is the country that has occupied Palestine, established Jewish settlements, and, through attacks on Gaza, has martyred over 40,000 Palestinians.
Another fact is that Imran Khan’s tenure as Prime Minister began in 2018, and during this period, rumors about promoting relations with Israel did surface. However, Imran Khan never openly stated that he wanted to promote or initiate relations with Israel.
