A Curse to Humanity: Israel Hits Back at Pakistan Defense Minister’s "Provocative" Remarks

In a scathing post on X (formerly Twitter), Pakistan’s Defense Minister accused Israel of systematic slaughter of innocent civilians across Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon. His remarks come at a sensitive time, as Islamabad prepares to host crucial peace talks between the US and Iran this Saturday.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office swiftly condemned the statement as "unacceptable rhetoric," questioning Pakistan’s role as a neutral mediator. Although Asif later deleted the post following the Israeli backlash, the incident has cast a shadow over the fragile two-week ceasefire efforts.

With thousands already dead since the war began on February 28, this war of words further complicates the diplomatic roadmap for peace in the region.
