PESHAWAR: Adviser to the Prime Minister, Rana Sanaullah, has stated that Pakistan should align itself with Saudi Arabia and Türkiye rather than supporting the Abraham Accords.
During an appearance on TV’s program “Nadeem Malik Live “he emphasised the need for Pakistan to stand with the broader Muslim world, especially on matters involving the Middle East. Sanaullah underlined the importance of unity among Muslim nations and said Pakistan must position itself in alignment with Arab states and Turkiye. He also noted that Iran’s current stance differs from its position just a month earlier, while adding that Iran’s strategic future lies in collaboration with Arab countries, Türkiye, and Pakistan.
On the issue of Palestine, he called for an end to violence and highlighted the suffering endured by Palestinians. “There has been severe bloodshed in Palestine; peace must be restored,” he said.Turning to domestic politics, the adviser said that decisions about removing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur are solely for the PTI leadership to make. He clarified that the government has no intention of destabilising the KP Assembly. “If they want to dissolve the assembly, it’s their decision,” he said, adding, “They pose a threat only to themselves.”
On the legal front, Sanaullah questioned whether Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa had ever directed anyone to avoid submitting legal documents, suggesting that the responsibility lies with those who filed certain affidavits, not the judiciary.
Earlier this week, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif also addressed the Abraham Accords in the same program, indicating that if Pakistan faces pressure to join the accords, the government will prioritise national interest. Responding to reports about external pressure to support the accords, Asif stated, “We’ll respond appropriately if and when that time comes.” He added that internal consultations are ongoing. “Our foreign policy decisions will not follow any U.S. agenda that could harm Pakistan,” he asserted.
