My perspective on the recent discourse around Pakistan and Israel:

Pakistan’s official position has long been clear: we will not recognise Israel until the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people are secured, with a sovereign, independent state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem (Al-Quds) as its capital.

While I respect this as the state’s diplomatic line, I personally believe that this framework falls short of true justice. The reality of Israel’s expansionism, apartheid policies, and ongoing occupation has already rendered the two-state solution unworkable. Partitioning historic Palestine into fragments under perpetual siege does not represent freedom.

I believe in a single, democratic state of Palestine, stretching from the river to the sea, where all people live with equal rights, dignity, and justice. Only through the dismantling of settler colonial structures and the restoration of Palestinian sovereignty across the entirety of their homeland can there be a just and lasting peace.

Israel, in my view, is a rogue entity, sustained by occupation and dispossession. Normalisation with such a state is not only unjust but immoral. Any attempt to steer Pakistan toward frameworks like the Trump-era “Peace Plan” or the Abraham Accords would be a betrayal of our principles and our history of solidarity.

Such a policy shift would ignite immense unrest within Pakistan, uniting people across the political spectrum in fierce resistance. At a time when our nation faces profound challenges, aligning with the oppressor rather than the oppressed would destabilise our society and erode our moral compass.

Our solidarity with Palestine is not merely political; it is part of who we are as a nation. To abandon it would be to abandon our conscience.
