Pakistan Prime Minister and Supreme Leader of Iran
Is Pakistan preparing to join the Abraham Agreement? Does this mean that he will now leave Iran? After a statement by Pakistan's Defense Minister Khwaja Asif, these speculation has got more air.
On the other hand, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishq Dar has rejected any such possibility. Let's understand this whole matter in pieces.
First understand what is the Abraham agreement?
The Abraham agreement was signed between Israel and several Arab countries in the US arbitration in 2020. In this, countries like UAE, Bahrain, Morocco recognized Israel. If Pakistan is involved in this agreement, then it will not be in a position to cooperate with Iran at a military or diplomatic level in future.
Asif's statement and echo of Abraham agreement
Pakistan's Defense Minister Khwaja Asif said in an interview on Sama TV that there is pressure from America to join the Abraham agreement. He clearly said that if there is pressure, we will take a decision by looking at our national interests. This statement once again gave rise to the debate whether Pakistan is now moving towards improving relations with Israel?
Isaq Dar's bluntly: will not recognize Israel
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar made a press conference on Friday and made it clear that there is no question of joining the Abraham agreement. He said that we would not recognize Israel until Palestine gets her right and capital Jerusalem under two-nation solutions. Dar said that no matter what pressure comes from America, Pakistan will not change its seven -decade old Palestine policy.
What will be affected on relationships with Iran?
Pakistan recently openly supported Iran in the Iran-Israel struggle. But if Pakistan becomes a part of the Abraham agreement, then it will have to retreat from any action against Israel. This is the reason that it is also being discussed because on one side there is America, which wants Pakistan to recognize Israel and join the Abraham agreement. On the other hand, Iran is, which supports Palestine and has been opening a front against Israel. Pakistan wants to maintain a relationship with both.
