Pakistan's Asif says Israel a ‘curse for humanity'

Yep, it's swimming with the fishes now

This person in particular, Khawaja Asif, their defence minister is basically pakistans version of Trump. His interviews and tweets are absolute comedic goldmines just like Trump's, but the difference is that this person doesn't really have alot of power other than being a political spokesperson and rallier. The actual person you should be looking at to gauge the progres of the talks is Trump's favorite field Marshal Asim Munir, who actually holds the power and is probably the reason pakistan is even the one brokering this "ceasefire". Munir isn't bound by politics and was even ready at one point to send his army into gaza to enforce the international border ... Of a country they don't even recognise.

We should send the Jedi to negotiate

Perhaps, but it does seem like Asif is positioning himself as a frontrunner for this year's FIFA Peace Prize

Good thing the neutral party helping out is …er…neutral. Funny, they had things to say about Lebanon, but the Lebanese government wasn’t invited nor supportive. Rather, Pakistan invited Hezbollah to “negotiate”. 🤡

Pakistan doesn't recognize Israel as a state. Which probably explains why the ceasefire didn't work for Israel, it's possible they didn't even contact Israel before agreeing to it, and Trump is also not the president of Israel and can't agree for them on something. Which, as you say, probably means Pakistan doesn't look like the most appropriate country to talk about all this, but in a way I'm also not sure Iran wants to talk to countries which recognize Israel; and Pakistan is close to Iran and to the US a bit so it's also logical in that way.

Shouldn’t Pakistan not insert itself into this conflict by facilitating a ceasefire when Pakistan is, itself, currently involved in another war?

They're not facilitating a ceasefire they're literally just the middleman for China to propose a deal. China was receiving over 2 million barrels of oil per day at discounted prices from Iran due to tariffs.

His country is severely indebted and dependent on US to not default. They are just the messenger boys here because Iranis wouldn’t talk to the US for security reasons.

He shouldn't but he's a civilian defense minister in a country that's actually ruled by the army chief with the civilian government being puppets. Making popularist speeches is all they are good for.

He said this in Oct 2025, not now.

So was Qatar for the Gaza war lol

Well… they were. That’s dead now. That statement just called into question the entire agreement. Neutrality shouldn’t be able to be tossed away so whimsically. It shows all of the negotiations occurred under bad faith from a pro-Iran mediator that was never neutral. It’s an indictment of Trump too for trusting their judgement when there was zero reason to suggest they were actually neutral. Now it’s all been laid bare with this violently charged statement.

They're waiting for their next tweet written by the Americans.

does anyone think these "mediating" countries are anything more than the equivalent of ccing an email?

This is the guy who while being interviewed on Sky News said they were funding terrorists for 30 years for the US.

With one of the least neutral statements I’ve ever seen! They volunteered for this role, and they just catastrophically fucked it.

It's negotiations Arab style.

And also funded the Taliban until it turned out, unsurprisingly, that terrorists do not in fact make good neighbors.

And terrorized India for several decades.

And continues to marry and r*** children.

Wonder who funded him and propped him up before that

That is how all Islamic extremist regimes operate. Their main goal is world conquest. To them, the people are just tools to further that goal.

Pakistan: “Israel is a curse for humanity.” Also Pakistan: “We’ll nuke India if Israel or the U.S. ever attack us.” https://m.economictimes.com/news/new-updates/will-attack-mumbai-delhi-without-thinking-twice-if-ex-pakistan-envoy-abdul-basit-issues-open-threat-against-india-on-live-tv/amp_articleshow/129790898.cms

In response to another nuclear armed country, but this one gets to lie to the rest of the world that they have one, AND they get to dictate which other nations have them too. Isn’t it fun?

I didn't read his statement as expulsion, given how he ended it in that tweet. He wants so much worse.

They were 2nd to NASA to open space agency and still have it. What's interesting is that they have not had a full cycled government, after their space program was announced. What's even more interesting is that they also did not have a full cycled government before either.

No, the problem is the far-right. I bet a big part of Israeli don´t belive, at least literally, in their holy book.
