Kamran Khan advocates Pakistan-Israel relations

By Web Desk Staff On Aug 31, 2019

Karachi: Senior journalist and popular anchorperson Kamran Khan has urged Pakistan to seriously review its policy towards Israel.

Apparently angered by Arabs and rapprochement in the throes of crisis in Kashmir, Khan said Pakistan should also immediately take a decision in its own interest.

“For 40 years, Israel has wanted to establish diplomatic ties with Pakistan,” he said adding that Islamabad remains indifferent thinking that it will offend Arab countries.

“But now not only these (Arabs) friends have relations with Israel, they have also embraced Pakistan’s foe Modi as their brother,” Khan said in an Urdu language Tweet on August 25.

40 سال سے اسرائیل چاہتا ہے پاکستان سے سفارتی تعلقات قائم ہوں یا اتنا تعلق تو ہو جتنا اس کا کئی مسلم ملکوں سے ہے ہمُ انکاری رہے برادر ممالک برا نہ منائیں حتی کہ یہ دوست خود اسرائیل سے جڑ گئے بلکہ مودی جیسے پاکستان دشمن کو بھائی بنا لیا وقت ہے پاکستان اپنے مفاد میں فوری فیصلہ کرے

The anchor has come under strong criticism for his tweet in support of Jewish state.
