Islamabad Will not Normalize with Israel says Pakistan

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has asserted opposition to his country’s normalizing relations with the Israeli regime after US President Donald Trump called on regional states to enter rapprochement deals with Tel Aviv.

Speaking to Pakistani Media, Asif said Pakistan should not support agreements that conflict with the country’s “fundamental ideologies.”

Asif made the remarks after being asked about the possibility of Pakistan’s joining the so-called Abraham Accords, a set of Washington-facilitated détentes that have normalized relations between some regional countries and Tel Aviv following reported pressure from Trump.
