 This is going to cause some turbans to unwind, I just know it. | LAHORE: Pakistani embassies have started sending invitations to Israeli diplomats to participate in its programmes, BBC Radio on Wednesday quoted an Israeli newspaper as saying. According to the BBC, the newspaper has reported that for the first time, Pakistani embassies are dispatching official notes sent to all diplomatic missions to Israeli embassies as well. The newspaper reported that Pakistani embassies had earlier deleted Israel from their mailing list but had recently started inviting Israeli diplomats to its programmes.
According to Jerusalem-based journalist Harinder Mishra, Israeli officials had confirmed they received invitations from Pakistani embassies in some countries. Responding to the invitations from Pakistani embassies, officials of the Israelâs Foreign Office said they had directed their diplomats to be very careful about such invitations, adding that they were trying to ascertain whether the invitations were being sent as part of Pakistanâs official policy or as result of personal relations between the diplomats. The officials said that Israeli embassies would reciprocate by inviting the Pakistani diplomats to its programmes. âIsrael aspires to end its diplomatic isolation in Muslim countries,â the officials added. |
