Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, @MIshaqDar50 , unequivocally rejecting the Abraham Accords and advocating for the Palestinians' right to self-determination at the recent high-level UN meeting is undoubtedly a bold and commendable step.
Openly condemning Zionist ambitions and unilateral agreements that sideline Palestinian rights on an international forum reflects Pakistan’s traditional, principled stance, for which he deserves congratulations.
However, alongside this significant diplomatic development, there are a few fundamental and key points that the Foreign Minister and the ruling authorities must urgently address.
During the address, insistence was placed on the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders.
Here, it is vital to understand that endorsing a two-state solution virtually amounts to deviating from the historic and inflexible policy laid down by the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Jinnah explicitly declared Israel an aggressor and an illegitimate state, advocating for the Palestinian right of ownership over the entirety of Palestinian land.
Using the 1967 borders as a baseline implies legally recognizing the existence of the Zionist state on the 78% of Palestinian land forcibly occupied prior to that (in 1948), which directly contradicts Pakistan’s principled and ideological stance.
While the Foreign Minister spoke about the Palestinians' right to self-determination, the mention of the Palestinian refugees' right of return was missing from the narrative.
This is the precise flaw and diplomatic weakness that needs to be rectified.
Merely speaking of the right to self-determination remains incomplete unless the return of millions of forced exiled Palestinians to their ancestral lands is ensured.
United Nations Resolution 194 explicitly recognizes the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and receive compensation.
Therefore, instead of limiting itself to self-determination, Pakistani diplomacy must make the Right of Return under Resolution 194 a core component of its narrative.
Instead of hesitating on the international stage, Pakistan must now adopt an unequivocal and robust stance.
The two-state solution should be completely rejected because it is practically dead and serves as a tool to permanently damage the Palestinian cause.
Pakistan should adopt the stance that all Palestinian refugees must be returned to their homes, followed by a free and fair referendum (self-determination) across the entire Palestinian territory (from the river to the sea), allowing all its original inhabitants to decide their own future.
Mr. Ishaq Dar’s condemnation of the Abraham Accords is a good starting point. However, the need of the hour is to mold our foreign policy into the framework of Jinnah’s principles, standing for complete justice and historical truth rather than settling for half-baked solutions.
