Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Saturday claimed that Israel is an “illegitimate” country and “the Islamic world must unite to confront the common threat posed by Israel.”
His statement came a day after Pakistan signed a joint defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey in Mecca on Friday.
Speaking in an interview with a Pakistani news outlet, Asif said. “Israel poses a threat to all of us. Islamic countries must adopt a coordinated approach to address this threat.”
“Israel is a product of the Balfour Declaration, which was established in the 1940s as an illegitimate state, and it could pose a direct threat to any of the countries in the region,” he added, perhaps unaware that a similar declaration also established Pakistan as a country in 1947.

This might be a good time for the Zionists to offer a good deal to the Palestinians. Peace with the Palestinians, or be prepared to fight a united Islamic world, with hope of any support from anything except he Jews in golus (who have existential threats of their own). Hope for a military solution is relying on a נס.
P.S. The partition of the “Raj” (British Empire of India) was agreed to by the elected representative of the Muslims and Hindus. The United Nations partition of British Palestine was never agreed to be the Muslims or Christians (in fact, the Brits never allowed elections in Palestine – it was always ruled by an appointed council with only token Jewish or Arab involvement).
Is this the same wretched country that illegally harboured Osama bin Laden?
The שקר וחוצפה of these Islamo-Nazis is incredible.Hopefully,השם will send משיח soon to rid the world of this plague of mankind.
We haven’t a friend in the world!
ע”כ אין לנו להישען אלא על אבינו שבשמים
What is the threat posed by Israel that they defend themselves when Islamists try to murder them?
Apukerma- what exactly is peace with the Palestinians mean? They haven’t said enough times they don’t want it. There will be peace when they’re dead
islam can seriously damage your health! the muslims contribute nothing to the world except murder and mayhem!
Been there done that
’48 ’67 whats next?
And to think that this very country (along with Turkey and Qatar!) has serves leading negotiations in the recent war is beyond comprehension! The craziest part is that this is what they say openly, the part they say among themselves, is after Israel comes the USA and the infidels. Yet us stupid Americans keep relying on these backstabbing “regional allies”.
Our friend UJM & the other Jewish misguided armchair generals of his mindset will reactively blame the Zionists for this Islamo-Nazi’s speech. If this is not clear evidence of their hatred of all Jews I don’t know what is. His country, also a product of a UN resolution is so far removed geographically from Israel. Israel doesn’t share a border with them. Yet Israel’s existence disturbs his peace. Just because they’re a Jewish country. But some of our own people have a disconnect from reality. They mix up the general opposition to the non-Religious leaders’ policies with anti-Semitism. The lines are blurred in their mind.
@ akuperma you know we kinda tried that like 50 times.. you see the Palestinian negotiating position is basically – “We get everything and get to kill all the Jews…” kind of difficult to negotiate with
