Pakistani defence minister calls for 'united military front' against Israel

Pakistan's defence minister Khawaja Asif called for a "united military front" against Israel, Middle East Eye reports, characterizing it as a threat to the entire Muslim world. The call comes following Pakistan's recent landmark defense agreements with Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Asif referenced Israel's creation through the Balfour Declaration, arguing that Palestinians have continuously resisted and that their issue must be resolved according to their aspirations. He warned that Israel's leadership would maintain anti-Palestinian and anti-Islamic positions regardless of who comes to power, and predicted it would continue dividing Muslim nations.
