Washington. Muslim leader Abdul El-Sayed, who won the Senate elections in America, has given such a statement regarding Pakistan, which can create a political stir there. He has demanded the Trump administration to stop financial assistance to countries including Pakistan which violate international laws. He has also included the names of Israel, Pakistan, Egypt and Jordan in this list. His statement has come at a time when his election victory is being discussed in Pakistan.
In an interview with American news channel ABC, Al-Sayed said that America should ensure that its financial aid does not reach countries that violate international laws. It is noteworthy that Al-Sayed has been opposing American military aid to Israel for a long time. When he was questioned on this issue, he said that this policy should not be limited to Israel only, but should be applied equally to other countries as well.
He said, “We have to ensure that we ourselves remain accountable to international law. This is not just a matter of Israel. I have the same stance in the case of Egypt, from where my family came to America. I hold the same view in the case of Pakistan and Jordan as well. America should be at the forefront in implementing international law.”
Support for the proposal to reduce military aid to Israel
Al-Sayed has also supported US President Donald Trump's proposal to cut military aid to Israel. He said that the President's stance regarding this policy is right. However, under the existing agreement between the US and Israel, Washington provides about $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel every year. This agreement is applicable till the year 2028.
Al-Sayed welcomed the proposal to reduce this aid, saying that the US should prioritize international law and accountability in its foreign policy.
Demand to stop arms sales to Israel
Al-Sayed also called for an end to American arms sales to Israel. He alleges that weapons received from America are being used in such military actions, which he considers serious incidents like genocide and apartheid.
He said, “I want us to stop selling weapons to Israel that are used to carry out terrible incidents like genocide and apartheid.”
It is clear from these statements of Al-Sayed that he is in favor of a change in American foreign policy and a review of the assistance given to countries facing allegations of violation of international law. His stance regarding Pakistan has made this statement a topic of special political discussion.
