Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar firmly dismissed speculation that Pakistan was considering joining the Abraham Accords, reaffirming Islamabad’s long-standing position that no normalization with Israel is possible until an independent Palestinian state is established on pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
Speaking at a press conference in Washington alongside Ambassador Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, Dar called the circulating rumors baseless. He stressed that this position has remained unchanged across every successive government, enjoying broad political and public consensus throughout Pakistan.
The statement came after President Trump urged several Muslim-majority nations, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey, to join an expanded Abraham Accords framework tied to ongoing US-Iran negotiations. Trump made these remarks following conversations with regional leaders, including Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir.
Pakistan, which does not recognize Israel and maintains no diplomatic ties with it, has recently played a quiet intermediary role in US-Iran tensions. Meanwhile, public sentiment at home remains firmly and visibly pro-Palestinian.
