Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif is often in the news for his statements. This time he targeted the US and Israel during a conversation with Jio News Channel and said, “American leaders openly take bribe from Israel. When they have to take bribe, they take secretly and not openly.

Khwaja Asif alleged that the US bureaucracy and defense officer are directly finance from the Israeli lobby. American leaders take money in broad daylight, while Pakistani leaders are defied that they take secret money. He said that the American system is running completely on parole.

Questions raised on Pakistan’s lobbying
Interestingly, the Israeli lobby which Khwaja Asif was criticizing, Pakistan itself is spending crores of rupees on American lobbying firms. Since the Trump administration, Pakistan has contracted at least 7 lobbying and legal firms in the first 8 months of 2025. The profiles of these firms have been done very carefully. These include the current and former officers of the White House, lawyer fighting international lawsuit and experienced strategists of Capital Hill. This report states that Pakistan is also part of the same system, which its ministers are openly criticizing.

Statement against America
This is not the first time that Pakistani Defense Minister Khwaja Asif has given a statement against America. Earlier, he had said in an interview that America continues to create quarrels in the world. They do this to sell their weapons. America earns money with its help. His weapon industry is very large and is an important part of his economy. Countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, Libya, who were once rich, have now become pauper by fighting war.

The recent statement of Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has brought a stir on the international stage. He threatened a nuclear attack against India on the US visit, which has been taken very seriously in the US. Former US Pentagon officer Michael Rubin described this statement as completely unacceptable and said that it questions Pakistan’s global image. Rubin even said that the time has come that the world should think whether Pakistan is eligible to maintain its place as a responsible country.

Michael Rubin compared General Munir’s rhetoric directly to Osama bin Laden’s speeches. He suggested that the US should immediately withdraw the status of Major Non-Nato Ally from Pakistan. In addition, he demanded that Pakistan be put in the list of State Sponsor of Terrorism, which can increase the ban and pressure on global levels. According to Rubin, Pakistan should be the first non-Nato ally in this category.

Rubin raised questions on American generals
Rubin also surprised why when Asim Munir threatened this from the US land, why did the American generals not walkout with him with meetings. He called it a serious lapse and said that the generals who did not do so should resign immediately. This comment also indirectly pressurize the US military establishment, which is likely to adopt more strict attitude in such cases in the coming times.

Potential diplomatic results
Rubin demands that until Pakistan officially explains and forgives this statement, General Munir and any other Pakistani officer should be declared as Persona Non Greta (unwanted person) in the US. This would mean that these officers will not get American visa and they will not be able to step on American soil.
