Dr. Fazl Mahmood Fazli, former head of the Administrative Office of the President of Afghanistan, has criticized Pakistan’s involvement in the Gaza peace delegation.
He asserts that Islamabad’s participation is primarily aimed at safeguarding the interests of the United States and Israel rather than supporting the Palestinian cause.
In his statement, Fazli drew parallels to history, claiming that Pakistan has protected Western interests since the time of the Afghan Mujahideen.
He predicted that Islamabad would continue this trend by implementing future projects in Afghanistan that align with US and Israeli strategic goals.
These comments reflect deep skepticism regarding Pakistan’s foreign policy maneuvering.
Fazli suggests that Pakistan consistently utilizes regional conflicts and peace initiatives to maintain its utility to major Western powers, often at the expense of regional stability.
