When Israel wanted to give Palestinians a bad name, Hamas would bomb Tel Aviv. Then it came into its own. Still, when a Brit reporter based in Beirut was going to Tel Aviv, a Hamas guy tells him ‘You’d better call Shimon Peres; here is his phone number.’ Hamas won the last elections but they picked Mahmoud Abbas, Israel’s own man. There are two presidents in Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas. Abbas calls the latest Unite Arab Emirates to move a stab in the back of Palestinians. He himself is a dagger no less!
israel pakistan relations
Strange fact: Turkey does over a billion $ in trade annually with Israel. Both KSA and Pakistan have had kind of de-facto relations with Israel through their embassies in Istanbul, Turkey; since Turkey has open diplomatic ties with Israel. Mustafa kamal was ruling in 1949 when they recognize Israel and he was a western puppet. There are many bad things he did other than accepting Israel. Turkey accepted Israel at the peak of its secularism.
Today, we are not even sure Israel would be interested in establishing trade ties with an overpopulated country that relies on foreign aid to keep its bankrupt, hollow economy running. Pakistan should work on improving its ties with its neighbors first. If we have to move forward we should keep this in mind, there’s no perfect friend or enemy. Each country looks after its own interests. Ummah soup is consumed only in Pak. Unfortunately, Pakistan as a nation happened to have double standards. We couldn’t get Kashmir independent and couldn’t give basic rights to our own citizens. The situation in Karachi is a prime example.
Just today, Oct 20, 2022, Chinese students are shot down in an open fire at New York Subway Station. Australia, a member of QUAD by America to counter China, has denied Al-Quds to be the capital of Israel; whereas Israel has just expelled the Australian ambassador for doing so. Australia has been largely appreciated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which seems frustrated by Joe Biden’s recent remark of KSA faces consequences if the country did not increase its oil production between the re-election of Joe’s party congressmen.
There has to be some kind of solution in the end. Either accept the reality of the situation knowing that Pakistan has no real influence over the matter or don’t accept the situation and continue to see an economic downslide in comparison to Pakistan’s neighbors. Pakistan, which will be undergoing FATF reassessment very soon, followed the suit by siding with KSA by saying that the oil belongs to the kingdom and they get to decide when to increase or decrease the production. Pakistan had recently been countering Joe Biden on his remarks calling for nuclear weapons possessed by Pakistan unsafe. The statement has been retracted by the American Ambassador to Pakistan after a large protest by Bilawal.
