Trump’s Abraham Accord: Such a dilemma has arisen in front of Pakistan, in which even if it accepts, it will be trapped and if it denies, it will be in more trouble. In fact, US President Donald Trump held a high-level conference call with many countries including Pakistan over the weekend.
According to ‘Axios’, Trump appealed to more and more Muslim countries to join the Abraham Accords after the Iran war, which directly means giving formal recognition to Israel. According to reports, after this proposal there was silence in the call for some time. After this, Trump jokingly asked other countries including Pakistan whether they were still on the line.
Why did Pakistan get stuck?
Actually, Pakistan’s problem is that on one hand it is trying to play the role of peace messenger between America and Iran, while on the other hand this proposal of Trump has put it in a state of confusion. If Pakistan accepts this proposal, it will have to face domestic opposition and compromise with its traditional foreign policy, while its refusal may affect its relations with America. This is why this proposal has become a big diplomatic challenge for Pakistan.
The issue of Palestine has always been very emotional for the people of Pakistan. In such a situation, giving formal recognition to Israel without any clarity would be like sitting on a pile of gunpowder which can explode at any time.
It’s like sitting on a pile of gunpowder for Pakistan.
Both the Pakistan Army and the Shahbaz government know very well that establishing formal relations with Israel could prove to be a politically suicidal move for them.
It is noteworthy that the Abraham Accords were signed in the year 2020 during the first term of US President Donald Trump. At that time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Ministers of United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were also present in the White House along with Trump. However, Pakistan maintained distance from this agreement and expressed its reluctance regarding it, calling it unfavorable for the concept of ‘New Middle East’.
At that time, Pakistan’s then Prime Minister Imran Khan had also refused to join the Abraham Accords, saying that doing so would be against Pakistan’s long-standing support of the ‘two-nation solution’ and its foreign policy principles.
US President Donald Trump on Monday said he has urged Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, including Qatar, to join the Abraham Accords to normalize ties with Israel as he seeks to end the conflict with Iran. Trump also said that he had discussed the issue with several countries on Saturday, and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have already signed the agreement.
