Israel Rejects Pakistan
Israel's ambassador to India rejected Pakistan's role as a mediator, saying Tel Aviv does not view Islamabad as a credible player.
“We don't see Pakistan as a credible player. I think the United States has decided to use the services of the facilitation of Pakistan”
He said Washington has its own reasons for using Islamabad's services.
Azar drew parallels between the Pakistan-brokered US-Iran ceasefire and previous negotiations involving Qatar and Turkey.
Divergence Over Lebanon
The Israeli envoy made clear the US-Iran ceasefire does not cover Lebanon.
Israel has to achieve a situation in which southern Lebanon will be cleaned from Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure.
President Trump clarified that Lebanon was not part of the ceasefire arrangement.
Pakistan's Role at Center
The ceasefire was brokered by Pakistan after weeks of escalating conflict.
“Trump said he agreed to the ceasefire based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan”
Trump credited Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir for brokering the deal.
The situation remains fragile, with both sides accusing each other of violations.
