A leading Pakistani English news daily has warned that recent engagement between Zionist Regime and Persian Gulf states is alarming with an aim to isolate Iran.
“Both the US and the Persian Gulf Arabs have no love lost for Tehran, hence the normalisation of Arab-Zionist ties could be linked to further squeezing Iran,” Dawn in its editorial comments said.
It added as for Pakistan, considering that this push for rapprochement in the Persian Gulf may be linked to isolating Iran, as well as the repeated violation of Palestinian human rights by Zionist Regime, the government needs to proceed very carefully.
It said over the past several days, there has been a flurry of reports concerning Israel and its contacts with Arab and Muslim states.
The paper said last week, it was reported that Zionist Regime’s Prime Minister Netanyahu flew into Oman for a secret meeting with Sultan Qaboos; news and pictures of the visit were only made public after Netanyahu was back in Tel Aviv. “Following the visit, a senior Omani minister told a conference in Manama that it was time to accept the Zionist state,” it said.
Dawn said along with these political developments, Zionist competitors and ministers have been in the UAE and Qatar of late as part of sports and cultural activities, with Zionist Regime’s flag flying at the venues, along with the playing of its national anthem.
“Then, of course, there were reports of a Zionist Regime’s business jet mysteriously flying into Pakistan; the reports have been vehemently denied by the government, but the rumors refuse to die down,” Dan said.
It added while geopolitics may be governed by selfish interests rather than morals, it should be remembered that Zionist Regime continues to slaughter Palestinians at will. “In fact, as Persian Gulf Arabs were posing for pictures with Zionist Regime’s officials, the Zionist state’s military was busy exterminating Palestinian children in Gaza,” it said.
“Zionist Regime’s behavior towards Palestinians, especially under the current Likud regime, has been appalling, hence the Arab autocrats will have a tough time explaining the sudden warming of relations with Tel Aviv,” Dawn said.
