Israeli Paper Suggests Imran Khan as Key to Pakistan-Israel Relations
A recent blog in the Israeli newspaper *Times of Israel* has stirred considerable debate by proposing that Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), might be the ideal figure to spearhead the normalization of diplomatic relations between Israel and Pakistan.
The blog, penned by Belgian blogger Aynur Bashirova, highlights Khan’s alleged connections with Israeli officials, suggesting he has used the Goldsmith family as intermediaries to communicate a willingness to explore formal ties between the two nations.
Bashirova’s post argues that Khan’s close association with the Goldsmith family could be pivotal in his evolving perspective on Israel. The blog further posits that Khan’s unique position, strategic insights, and international connections might enable him to bridge the historical divide between the West and the Islamic world.
The *Times of Israel* blog suggests that, despite the considerable hurdles and potential opposition, Khan’s leadership could play a crucial role in reshaping Pakistan’s foreign policy towards Israel. Bashirova even advocates for Khan to be reintegrated into Pakistani politics, asserting that his influence could be key in navigating this complex diplomatic terrain.
