Pakistans Islamist prime minister said late last week that despite facing pressure to recognize Israel, he refuses to establish relations with the Zionists.

In a television interview on Thursday, Prime Minister Imran Khan did not identify the countries applying the pressure, only saying, We have good relations with them.

This suggests that the nations involved may be Arab or Muslim countries, three of which the UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan recently normalized relations with the Jewish state.

Khan emphasized his dedication to opposing Israel, saying that Pakistans founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah did so and his government would follow in Jinnahs footsteps vis-a-vis Palestine.

I have no second thought about recognizing Israel unless there is a just settlement, which satisfies Palestinians, he asserted.

Khan also claimed the US is pressuring Pakistan to recognize Israel because of Israels deep impact in the US. This influence was in fact extraordinary during the Trump stint.

Speaking about the recent US presidential election, Khan also appeared to blame Israel for the ongoing war in Afghanistan, with which Pakistan shares a border.

Afghanistan is not the real issue. The real issue is Israel. It is to be seen how Biden deals with that. Whether he changes Trumps policies about Israel or continues with them, he claimed.

Last month, Khan made openly antisemitic statements to the Pakistani media, saying, The Israeli and Indian lobbies work together in America. Israels lobby is the most powerful and thats why Americas whole Middle East policy is controlled by Israel.
