AMMAN — “It would not be possible” for
Pakistan to normalize relations with Israel “without first, the people of
Palestine making that decision”, Pakistan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Bilawal
Bhutto Zardari said during a press conference on Friday at the UN headquarters
in New York.

This was in response to a question about
the many pressures on Islamic countries for normalizing with the occupation,
and the possibility of
Pakistan following other countries that have done so,
Al-Ghad News reported.
“Our country is clear, our history is clear,
our people are clear,” Zardari said. “We pride ourselves that our passport
never recognized an apartheid state.”
‘One apartheid state’ in the worldWhen South Africa was an
apartheid state,
“our passports used to say that our passports are valid for all countries
except South Africa and Israel,” he continued.
“Today, there is one apartheid state left
in the world, and Pakistan does not recognize it.”
The press conference was held to discuss
the outcome of the Women in Islam Conference and the Commemoration of the
International Day to Combat Islamophobia, according to the UN Media website.
