Pakistan's PM Imran Khan pressured to recognize Israel
[Jpost] Pakistain faced pressure from another country to establish diplomatic ties with Israel, Pak Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders...
said in a local television interview over the weekend.

"I have no second thoughts about recognizing Israel, unless there is a just settlement that satisfies Paleostinians," Khan said.

Citing Pakistain founder Quaid-e-Azad Muhammad Ali Jinnah's refusal to recognize Israel, Khan said "Islamabad would continue to follow in Jinnah's footsteps vis-a-vis Paleostine."

Khan also refused to name the countries that have been pressuring him, saying: "There are things we cannot say. We have good relations with them."

Pak passports say in them: "This passport is valid for all countries of the world except Israel."

Khan’s comments come after the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain normalized ties with Israel in recent months.

Pakistain has strong economic ties with Gulf states like the UAE and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, which has been warming to Israel in recent years, and when his interlocuter asked again who is pressuring Pakistain, Khan said: "Let us stand on our own feet in terms of economy, then you may ask these questions."

The Pak prime minister said the pressure is a result of "Israel's deep impact in the US. This [influence] was, in fact, extraordinary during [US President Donald] Trump's tenure."

Khan also said that US President-elect Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run. If you believe Tara Reade you probably shouldn't vote for him....
's position on Israel is of utmost importance: "The real issue is Israel. We shall see how Biden deals with that, whether he changes Trump's policies on Israel or continues with them."

Last month, Khan said: "Israel's lobby is the most powerful and that's why America's whole Middle East policy is controlled by Israel."

He accused an Israeli-Indian conspiracy of influencing the US to pressure him to pardon his political rival Nawaz Sharif
...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts...
, who was banned from office and was sentenced with 10 years in prison on corruption charges.
