ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has claimed that the PTI founder is a project of Zionists. In a video statement released this evening, he noted that Israeli media is supporting the PTI founder and has politically aligned with him.

Khawaja Asif remarked that while Israel is perpetrating atrocities in Gaza, the PTI founder has never openly denounced Israel. He criticized the PTI founder for his failure to publicly condemn Israel’s ongoing actions in Gaza.

The Defence Minister also highlighted that Israel perceives Pakistan as a threat, since Pakistan is the only nuclear-armed nation in the Islamic world and has not recognized Israel since 1947.
