After all, why does Mossad want to kill Asim Munir? Israel’s Hate Story from Pakistan’s master

A sensational claim by Brazilian journalist and geo-political analyst Pepe Escobar has sparked a new debate at the international level. Escobar has alleged that Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad had planned to target Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir during peace talks between Iran and America in Switzerland. However, as soon as this claim came to light, Pakistan rejected it, calling it completely baseless.

This dispute has come to light at a time when Pakistan is playing an important role in the peace talks between America and Iran. This allegation quickly went viral on social media, but till now no official document, intelligence report or independent evidence has emerged to support it. This claim came during a podcast hosted by political commentator Mario Naufal. The topic of discussion was Pakistan’s role in the ongoing diplomatic initiative between America and Iran.

What did Escobar say?

According to Escobar, the sources he met told that the alleged operation had been approved at the highest level of Israel. However, he did not make public any concrete evidence to support his claim. He also said that Pakistan had sent a warning message in this regard through diplomatic channels. He said, “If you touch our delegation, we will wipe you off the map, that’s all. I am telling this from my sources, this is what our sources have told us.”

What did Pakistan say on Escobar’s statement?

According to media reports, a senior security official rejected the entire issue and said that no such incident took place during the trip to Switzerland. “Absolute nonsense and sheer absurdity. No such thing happened,” he said, adding that the security of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Field Marshal Asim Munir and the Pakistani delegation was completely ensured during the meetings in Switzerland.

What questions did Pakistani journalists raise?

Many senior journalists and analysts of Pakistan have also raised questions on the credibility of this claim. He says that there is no factual basis to support the allegations. Journalist Syed Talat Hussain, while reacting on social media, called this report completely wrong. He said, “This is complete nonsense. There is no truth in it at all. Nothing like this ever happened.”

This dispute has come to light at a time when Pakistan is trying to portray itself as an important medium of communication between America and Iran. Field Marshal Asim Munir has been actively involved in various diplomatic meetings and mediation efforts in recent months. Pakistan facilitated several rounds of discussions aimed at reducing tensions between the US and Iran.

How true is Escobar’s claim?

Many Pakistani leaders, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, participated in several important meetings in Switzerland. However, till now no official confirmation has come from any international agency or government regarding the allegations of conspiracy related to Mossad. In such a situation, this claim seems to be limited to allegations based only on unknown sources.
