Pakistan’s Defence Minister Brands Israel “Evil and a Curse on Humanity,” Accuses It of Genocide in Middle East Conflicts

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has strongly condemned Israel’s military actions in the Middle East, describing the country’s conduct as “evil” and “a curse for humanity” in a social media post amid ongoing peace negotiations in Islamabad.

In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Asif accused Israel of continuing to kill innocent civilians, alleging that what he called “genocide” has spread from Gaza to Iran and now to Lebanon, even as diplomatic efforts are underway to reduce hostilities in the region.
