National ( The cow news digital ) Pakistan has reiterated its firm stance on the Palestinian issue, with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stating that there will be no flexibility regarding the Abraham Accords unless Palestine is recognized as an independent state.
Speaking to journalists in Washington, Ishaq Dar clarified that Pakistan’s position remains unchanged and is based on established principles. He emphasized that Pakistan will not consider any engagement with the Abraham Accords until a sovereign Palestinian state is created along pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Dar noted that recent reports and speculation surrounding Pakistan’s potential involvement in the accords are unfounded. He stressed that Pakistan’s foreign policy is guided by its longstanding commitment to the rights of the Palestinian people and adherence to international resolutions.
He further stated that Pakistan continues to advocate for peaceful resolution of global conflicts and is actively contributing to diplomatic efforts, including facilitating dialogue between the United States and Iran. According to him, Pakistan played a constructive role in initiating contacts that brought both sides back to negotiation channels after decades of limited engagement.
The foreign minister added that under the leadership of the Prime Minister and the military leadership, Pakistan has gained renewed international recognition. He claimed that attempts by India to diplomatically isolate Pakistan have not succeeded.
During his visit, Ishaq Dar also held a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a cordial atmosphere, attended by Pakistan’s ambassador and senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Discussions reportedly included regional security, bilateral relations, and ongoing geopolitical developments.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s position on regional disputes, Dar also highlighted the Kashmir issue, stating that the people of Kashmir must be granted their right to self-determination in accordance with United Nations resolutions.
His remarks come after recent statements by former U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting that, following any potential U.S.–Iran agreement, several Muslim-majority countries, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, could be encouraged to join the Abraham Accords framework.
Pakistan, however, has consistently maintained that normalization with Israel is conditional upon a just and lasting resolution of the Palestinian question.
