There is good reason to worry about the safety of our negotiators in Pakistan.

The country is armed and dangerous and the government is not fully in control.

Previous high level visits were short and they involved decoy aircraft, as when then-President Clinton surreptitiously…

How is a failed seventh century jihad-terror state playing any kind of role at all in a peace negotiation? They can’t grasp the word let alone achieve it.

A failed state that knowingly sheltered Bin Laden and proliferated nuclear weapons technology to Iran and North Korea, with a long record of sponsoring and perpetrating terrorism leading peace talks? Absurd.

Rep Josh Gottheimer: This is nuts!

While Pakistan is leading ceasefire talks, their defense minister is spewing vile rhetoric targeting Jews and Israel.

Hateful rhetoric like this is beyond unacceptable and unproductive at this fragile moment. This is not diplomacy and must be condemned.

Pakistan Defense minister:

Pakistan is not negotiating in good faith. The United States should never have agreed to hold negotiations in a biased Islamist state.

Israel denounces truce mediator Pakistan after its defense minister calls Israel ‘curse for humanity, cancerous’

By: Times of Israel, April 10, 2026:

Israeli leaders denounce Pakistan, which is mediating the US-Iran ceasefire negotiations, after the nuclear-armed country’s defense minister called Israel “evil and a curse for humanity, “cancerous” and “to get rid of European jews.”

In a post on X, Khawaja Asif claimed that as “peace talks are underway in Islamabad, genocide is being committed in Lebanon. Innocent citizens are being killed by Israel, first Gaza, then Iran and now Lebanon, bloodletting continues unabated.”

“I hope and pray people who created this cancerous state on Palestinian land to get rid of European jews [sic] burn in hell,” he added.

Responding to Asif, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says his “call for Israel’s annihilation is outrageous. This is not a statement that can be tolerated from any government, especially not from one that claims to be a neutral arbiter for peace.”

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar condemns Asif’s “these blatant antisemitic blood libels from a government claiming to ‘mediate peace,’” while echoing the Prime Minister’s Office in saying that “calling the Jewish state ‘cancerous’ is effectively calling for its annihilation.”

“Israel will defend itself against terrorists who vow its destruction,” says Sa’ar.
