Pakistan’s alleged secret push to join Abraham Accords and recognize Israel has sparked intense debate, with claims emerging that the military-led government is pursuing covert normalization under U.S. and Saudi influence. Journalist Adil Raja alleges that Army Chief Asim Munir has committed to President Trump for Pakistan to sign the accords, starting secretly before public acknowledgment, potentially using clerics to justify it amid opposition. This comes amid broader regional shifts, including Saudi-Pakistan defense pacts that some view as paving the way for expanded Middle East alliances.
Raja’s sources suggest the push aligns with recent U.S.-Pakistan meetings, where Munir reportedly promised recognition in exchange for support, dismissing rumors of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s Israeli meetings as distractions from Kashmir unrest. Online discussions, including Reddit threads, speculate Pakistan’s recognition could happen soon, driven by economic pressures and strategic realignments, despite historical denials. Official stances remain firm against recognition without a two-state solution, as reiterated by Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar in June 2025.Just imagine! https://t.co/MN2IgwUTre

Critics argue this alleged move betrays Pakistan’s pro-Palestine legacy, with Minister Sardar Muhammad Yousaf labeling Israel an “illegal state” and ruling out ties. Wikipedia notes Pakistan’s consistent support for Palestine, refusing normalization until an independent state is established. Yet, the Saudi-Pakistan pact, seen as countering U.S. unreliability, may indirectly facilitate such shifts, per analysts. As debates intensify, Raja warns of public backlash, framing it as elite betrayal for foreign gains.
