Pakistan could not recognise Israel unless it gave freedom to Palestinians

 PM Imran Khan has categorically said that Pakistan could not recognise Israel as a state unless it gave freedom to Palestine.

In a two-hour and late-night interview with Dunya TV on Tuesday, he touched upon several issues, from the government’s strategy to deal with Covid-19, sugar, and wheat crises, poor civic amenities in Karachi, government to opposition relations and FBR reforms to Pakistan’s foreign relations.

On foreign policy, the PM said: “The Quaid-i-Azam had said in 1948 that Pakistan could not recognise Israel unless it gave freedom to Palestinians.

"If we recognise Israel and ignore tyranny faced by the Palestinians, we will have to give up Kashmir as well, and this we cannot do."
