Pakistan and Israel: 'Normalisation' a hard sell but a narrative is building
Newsrael News Desk 28.06.2022
An emerging media narrative in Pakistan is raising questions about its longstanding policy of recognition of Israel conditional on Palestinian statehood.
The main trigger for the current round of commentary on the issue was a visit to Israel last month by a group of mostly US-Pakistani dual nationals who met Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
But the visit caused outrage in Pakistan when it emerged the delegation included a Pakistani television journalist, Ahmed Quraishi, who was not a dual national and for whom it was therefore prohibited under Pakistani law to travel to Israel.
Quraishi was fired from his job with the state broadcaster PTV. He says he and his family have been subjected to violent threats.
