"Seems people do not understand English," Imran denounces propaganda of supporting ties with Israel

Former Prime Minister and PTI founder Imran Khan, currently incarcerated, has vehemently denied allegations that he supports establishing relations with Israel. 

Speaking from Adiala Jail on Monday, Khan addressed the media, stating, "Since yesterday, there has been a propaganda blitz, citing an Israeli newspaper that I am the biggest advocate for relations with Israel. These claims are absurd. The article did mention me, but clearly, some people do not understand English."

The article from The Jerusalem Post discussed Khan's influence in both the Muslim world and the West, speculating on how his leadership could affect Pakistan’s foreign policy regarding Israel. However, Khan emphasized that his position on Israel is firmly pro-Palestinian.

"My stance on Israel has not changed. The Palestinian people are enduring genocide. Any discussions with Israel are contingent upon a ceasefire and a genuine commitment to a two-state solution," he asserted. Khan accused his political opponents of misinterpreting the article to undermine his credibility.

In response to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent call for unity and cooperation to advance the country’s development, Khan issued a pointed reply:

"Shehbaz Sharif, listen carefully: peace is a by-product of justice. The elections were blatantly rigged, PTI workers were thrown in jail after the May 9 events, and yet no serious investigations are underway. Without justice, there can be no peace."
