Imran Khan secretly open to Israel ties, claims Jerusalem Post

The Jerusalem Post has endorsed a claim by the Times of Israel that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan, while publicly anti-Israel, internally seeks improved relations with Israel.

In an opinion piece titled “Redrawing Israel’s Geopolitical Map on Abraham Accords’ Anniversary”, the Jerusalem Post explores the potential shift in Pakistan’s foreign policy towards Israel.

The article highlights that while Khan has maintained a public stance against Israel, he has hinted at a more pragmatic approach to foreign relations, aligning with changing global dynamics. The Jerusalem Post suggests that a change in Pakistan’s leadership, possibly with Khan’s influence or a like-minded figure, could open opportunities for re-evaluating Pakistan’s historic hostility towards Israel, especially as the country grapples with ongoing economic crises.

The piece further notes that Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House could accelerate Pakistan-Israel relations.

The article argues that Pakistan, traditionally pro-Palestinian, could benefit strategically from diversifying its foreign policy, particularly in balancing its complex relationships with India and Afghanistan.

The Jerusalem Post concludes that Imran Khan’s PTI winning 93 National Assembly seats in recent elections can lend strength to his potential role in shaping future foreign policy decisions.
