Trump Iran deal Pakistan Abraham Accords

Pakistan’s mediation role ≠ Israeli normalisation

Pakistan’s role in de-escalation does not amount to acceptance of normalisation with Israel. Islamabad’s Palestine policy remains rooted in statehood, Al-Quds, and pre-1967 borders, not the politics of the Iran file.

Trump’s attempt to link an Iran settlement with Abraham Accords expansion places Pakistan in a position it has long refused: treating Palestine as a transactional file. — MICHAEL MCCALL FOR THE THURSDAY TIMES
