Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Pakistani Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, who is in Washington, emphasized Islamabad's position on the Palestinian issue in front of reporters after meeting with Marco Rubio.
Responding to a question regarding Donald Trump's request to regional countries, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to normalize relations with Israel at the same time as the US agreement with Iran, he said: "There are many rumors circulating about the Abraham Accords. Let me clarify that Pakistan's position on this issue has been very clear and consistent. Until Palestine is recognized on the pre-1967 model and Jerusalem is not its capital, no flexibility on this issue will be possible."
He stressed that Pakistan is committed to its long-standing position on Palestine and Gaza, and that there will be no change in Islamabad’s policy towards Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Five days ago, the US president tried to link ending the Iran war with reconciliation with the Zionist regime. Referring to consultations with the leaders of the West Asian region, he wrote on social media that it was “essential” that they sign the “Abraham Pact” after reaching an agreement to end the Iran war.
Not long ago, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif rejected the US president’s call for countries involved in negotiations with Iran to join the normalization of relations with the Zionist regime, saying: “Personally, I do not think we should join such a pact.”
According to the Pakistani defense minister, Islamabad will not support any agreement or pact that contradicts Pakistan’s “fundamental ideologies.”
In another part of his speech in Washington, Mohammad Ishaq Dar addressed the issue of mediation between Iran and the United States, saying: “Our meeting [with Marco Rubio] was very friendly and constructive, and the American side appreciated Pakistan’s constructive role in mediation.”
Ishaq Dar added that Pakistan had created the conditions for direct interaction between the two sides, and the first and last ceasefires were made possible by Islamabad’s efforts.
He emphasized that Pakistan’s main focus now is on transforming the temporary ceasefire into a lasting and permanent peace, and that the country will continue to engage with both sides as an honest and impartial mediator.
Stating that this mediation has contributed to regional stability, the Pakistani Foreign Minister said: “Pakistan has found a new identity in global diplomacy and will continue its efforts to advance dialogue and peace through peaceful solutions.”
