US-Iran Ceasefire LIVE: Pakistan’s Khawaja Asif Calls Israel ‘Evil, Cancerous’, Netanyahu Replies
Ahead of scheduled US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad, a diplomatic rift emerged between Israel and Pakistan with Israeli officials expressing doubt regarding Pakistan’s suitability as a mediator, following a statement from Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, in which he accused Israel of carrying out "genocide" in Lebanon.
Tearing into Pakistan, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office labeled Asif’s remarks as “outrageous,” stating that his “call for Israel’s annihilation” is intolerable. Officials questioned the validity of such statements from a nation seeking to be viewed as a neutral mediator in the current peace negotiations. “This is not a statement that can be tolerated from any government, especially not from one that claims to be a neutral arbiter for peace,” the statement said.
The controversy stems from a series of blunt posts on X by Asif, who characterized Israel as "evil and a curse for humanity." He further claimed that "genocide is being committed in Lebanon," despite the fact that peace negotiations were simultaneously taking place in Islamabad. Asif’s comments arrived as Pakistan seeks to serve as a diplomatic intermediary in the escalating West Asia conflict, which includes hosting negotiations aimed at a U.S.-Iran ceasefire.In a notably aggressive statement, Asif further remarked “I hope and pray people who created this cancerous state on Palestinian land to get rid of European jews burn in hell.”
