Is there a diplomatic relationship with Israel?
Pakistan Television removed Ahmed Quraishi from the air after traveling to Jerusalem to promote “interfaith harmony.”
One of the trip organizers, Anila Ali, a Pakistani-born US citizen residing in the United States, urged Pakistan to establish diplomatic relations with Israel for the country’s benefit.
Turkish leadership established diplomatic ties with Israel in their national interest, thus setting an excellent example for Pakistan.
If Turkey can do it, why can’t we?
Anila Ali.
During the latest flooding, which has caused 1,569 deaths since mid-June, Ali said Israel could guide and assist Pakistan in improving the country’s irrigation system.
