Pakistan has officially rejected the prospect of joining the Abraham Accords, following U.S. President Donald Trump's call for Muslim-majority nations to normalize relations with Israel. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif stated that any agreement contradicting Pakistan's core ideologies would not be supported. He reiterated the country's longstanding position that it will not recognize Israel until a Palestinian state is established based on pre-1967 borders. Asif expressed skepticism regarding Israel's reliability in negotiations, emphasizing that Pakistan's foreign policy remains sovereign and is not subject to external pressures. The country has historically not recognized Israel since its establishment in 1947, a stance reflected in its passport policy, which does not mention Israel. The recent push from Trump has placed Pakistan in a diplomatically sensitive position, especially as it has been strengthening ties with the U.S. and playing a role in regional diplomacy. However, any move towards recognizing Israel could provoke significant domestic backlash, particularly from religious groups. Pakistan's foreign office has clarified that its participation in regional peace initiatives does not imply a shift in its policy towards Israel, maintaining that its positions remain unchanged amidst evolving regional dynamics.
