The Pakistani government has issued a statement regarding a viral video showing a cabinet member meeting the Israeli Tourism Minister, clarifying the circumstances and addressing public concerns.
Officials stated that the video lacks context and does not reflect any official policy shift or formal diplomatic engagement with Israel. The government emphasized that Pakistan’s longstanding position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains unchanged.
The cabinet member in question reportedly attended an international forum where multiple delegates were present, and the interaction captured in the video was informal and coincidental, according to the official statement. Authorities urged the public and media to avoid spreading misinformation based on clips shared out of context.
Political analysts noted that the incident underscores the sensitivity of interactions involving Israeli officials in Pakistan and the importance of clarity in communication to prevent misunderstandings. The government assured citizens that all foreign engagements continue to be aligned with Pakistan’s official foreign policy.
The viral clip has sparked debates on social media, but authorities maintain that no policy changes have occurred, and Pakistan’s support for Palestine remains firm.
