Political turmoil or a big mistake? Pakistani minister’s remarks on Trump and Netanyahu create controversy

News India Live, Digital Desk: There is a big game of words in international politics. Even a small word can create relations or create tension between countries. Recently the Defense Minister of Pakistan has done something similar. One of his latest statements has made headlines across the world. The matter was not just limited to sharp statements, but it directly mentioned Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former US President Donald Trump. What is this whole matter after all? During a program, some such words came out of the mouth of Pakistan’s Defense Minister (Khwaja Asif) which everyone was surprised to hear. Expressing his views on the conditions in Israel and Gaza, he even said that Netanyahu should be “kidnapped”. The matter did not stop here, he also hinted at ‘punishing’ America’s influential leader Donald Trump. Sentimentality or calculated politics? Generally, the issue of Palestine and Israel is very sensitive in Pakistan and people are very emotional. But when a person holding a responsible position uses such words for the head of state of another country, it is considered against diplomatic decorum. Experts are saying that perhaps this is an attempt to garner accolades in domestic politics, but its international consequences can be huge. Mention of Trump and Pakistan’s problems. Punishing Trump or talking against him can itself prove to be like ‘Come bull kill me’ for Pakistan. We should not forget how aggressive Donald Trump’s temperament and his policies have been. If America takes this seriously, Pakistan’s already poor economic and strategic situation may worsen. Social Media and World Attitude As soon as this news came out, a debate broke out on the internet. While some people are calling it a strong stand, a large section of experts are calling it ‘immature rhetoric’. There may not have been any immediate official response from Israel, but its echoes are clearly heard in the intelligence and strategic circles. What will happen next? Such statements often put the country on the defensive. Now it remains to be seen whether Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry issues any clarification on this or tries to hush up the matter. Because on one side there is Kashmir issue and on the other side relations with western countries, it will not be easy to handle the burden of such heavy words.
