ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has warned about the “disastrous consequences” stemming from Western support for Israel, urging Muslim nations to unite in opposition to the occupying regime.
The senior Pakistani official said in a message posted on X on Monday that Western countries’ all-out support for the unruly Tel Aviv rulers will lead to the spread of conflicts in the region, with its disastrous consequences spilling across the borders of West Asia, Press TV reported.
“The world should be cautious and concerned about nuclear-armed Israelis, who do not adhere to any of the international nuclear regulations and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and have not signed any other binding agreement,” he said.
“The Western World should be concerned about the conflicts that are being caused by Israelis, these conflicts will engulf the entire region and beyond, so their support for Israel, a rogue [regime], could have disastrous consequences,” he added
In an open session of the Pakistani parliament, the parliamentarian minister condemned the Zionist regime’s recent aggression against Iran and asserted that Pakistan stands by the Islamic Republic of Iran and will continue to cooperate with it in international forums. He also reiterated the need for unity in the Islamic world against Israel, adding that Pakistan will defend Iran’s interests.
Representatives of the Senate and National Assembly of Pakistan also unanimously passed separate resolutions condemning the crimes of the Zionist regime in the Islamic Republic of Iran and simultaneously declared their solidarity and support for the government and people of Iran.
The Pakistani defense minister called on all Muslim states to cut ties with the Tel Aviv regime over the strikes on the Iranian military, nuclear, and civilian targets and take a united global stance against the Israelis. He warned that failing to act collectively would only encourage further attacks across West Asia.
Speaking in the National Assembly on Saturday, Asif argued that Israel “did not act alone” and had received “intelligence, cover, and support.” He said the Muslim world remained “militarily vulnerable” and urged a joint response.
“Just as Israel is currently targeting Yemen, Iran, and Palestine, if the Muslim world does not unite today and continues to prioritize its own interests and agendas, then everyone’s turn will come,” he told lawmakers.
