Islamabad, November 5, 2023 – Hamid Mir, a prominent journalist known for his insightful commentary on political affairs, sent shockwaves through the media and diplomatic circles today with a provocative tweet regarding diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Israel. In a tweet, he wrote, “The kings of some Arab countries wanted Pakistan and Israel to establish diplomatic relations, but these kings did not know that the great poet who dreamed of Pakistan warned us in his life not to listen to these kings.”
بعض عرب ممالک کے بادشاہ چاہتے تھے کہ پاکستان اور اسرائیل آپس میں سفارتی تعلقات قائم کر لیں لیکن یہ بادشاہ نہیں جانتے تھے کہ جس عظیم شاعر نے پاکستان کا خواب دیکھا تھا وہ شاعر اپنی زندگی میں ہمیں خبردار کر گیا کہ ان بادشاہوں کی بات نہ سننا۔ https://t.co/AzDCABE0p6

The tweet has ignited a heated debate among Pakistanis and garnered significant attention on social media. The reference to a “great poet who dreamed of Pakistan” is seen by many as an allusion to Allama Iqbal, a highly regarded philosopher, poet, and politician who played a pivotal role in inspiring the creation of Pakistan. Iqbal’s poetry is often cited as a source of guidance and inspiration for the nation.
The mention of “kings of some Arab countries” raises questions about potential regional developments and geopolitical dynamics. It suggests that some Arab nations may be pressuring Pakistan to establish diplomatic ties with Israel. The prospect of Pakistan and Israel normalizing relations has been a long-debated topic, with opinions divided on the matter.
It is unclear which Arab countries Hamid Meer is referring to, and whether there have been any formal discussions or negotiations between Pakistan and Israel. As of now, no official statements have been made by the governments of Pakistan or Israel regarding this matter.
Observers are eager to see if Hamid Meer will provide further context or clarification on his tweet, and whether this sparks a broader conversation on the possible implications of such diplomatic overtures. The tweet has already prompted discussions within political and diplomatic circles, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing discourse around Pakistan’s foreign policy.
