Israeli Newspaper Claims Imran Khan Could Establish Pakistan-Israel Diplomatic Ties

In a provocative claim, a blog in the Israeli newspaper Times of Israel has named former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan as the most suitable figure to establish diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Israel. The blog, written by Belgian blogger Aynur Bashirova, has sparked widespread debate due to the long-standing strained relations between the two countries.

According to Bashirova, Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is reportedly linked to Israeli authorities through the influential Goldsmith family. She claimed that Khan sent messages to Israel, hinting at a possible willingness to normalize relations between the two nations. This potential diplomatic shift would mark a historic move for Pakistan, a country that has traditionally taken a strong pro-Palestinian stance and refused to recognize Israel.

The blog suggests that Imran Khan’s international connections, especially with the West, and his evolving strategic outlook could position him as a key player in reshaping Pakistan’s foreign policy towards Israel. Despite the sensitive nature of such a move, Times of Israel believes that Khan could bridge the gap between the Islamic world and the West.
