[Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee]

I see 1st hand Israel seeks to avoid civilian deaths, but I see WHY Israel fights. Hamas massacred Israeli civilians; Hezbollah fires 1000's of rockets into Israeli homes; Iran threatens w/ 1000's of missiles & nuclear weapon. Want peace? Stop Iran & its puppet proxies.

BREAKING: Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif posted the following on X on April 9, hours before the Islamabad talks begin: “Israel is evil and a curse for humanity, while peace talks are underway in Islamabad, genocide is being committed in Lebanon. Innocent citizens are being killed by Israel, first Gaza, then Iran and now Lebanon, bloodletting continues unabated. I hope and pray people who created this cancerous state on Palestinian land to get rid of European jews burn in hell.”

This is the Defense Minister of the host country. Not a backbencher. Not a provincial politician. The cabinet member responsible for Pakistan’s military coordination with the United States, including with CENTCOM. The official whose ministry is managing the security arrangements for the very talks at which Vice President Vance will sit down on Saturday morning. The man overseeing Vance’s safety in Islamabad just called Vance’s closest ally in this war “evil,” a “curse for humanity,” and a “cancerous state.”

No one in the Sharif government issued a rebuke. No clarification. No distancing. The silence is the signal.

This is not an isolated outburst. It is the second structural crack in Pakistan’s mediator neutrality in 72 hours. The first was Prime Minister Sharif’s April 7 ceasefire announcement, which the New York Times and Forbes revealed carried a “Draft” header and had been pre-approved by the White House. That announcement declared the ceasefire applied “everywhere including Lebanon.” Within hours, Netanyahu’s office stated the ceasefire “does not include Lebanon.” Vance called this a “legitimate misunderstanding.” Araghchi quote-tweeted Sharif’s “including Lebanon” text and highlighted those two words for 3.69 million viewers. Pakistan’s announcement created the scope ambiguity. And now Pakistan’s Defense Minister has publicly sided with Iran’s interpretation of what that scope requires.

The mediator is not mediating. The mediator is arguing.

Asif’s post arrived at 17:02 GMT on April 9, while the Iranian delegation was already on Pakistani soil, while the Serena Hotel was being emptied of guests, while seven layers of security were being erected around the Red Zone, while a 30-member US security advance team was already on the ground. It was posted into the exact diplomatic window where the host country’s perceived neutrality is the single most important variable determining whether both delegations sit down in good faith.

Israel did not agree to include Lebanon in the ceasefire. This is confirmed. Netanyahu’s office said it explicitly. The White House confirmed it. The IDF launched Operation Eternal Darkness on April 8, the heaviest coordinated bombardment of Lebanon since the war began, killing at least 254 people in a single day. Israel’s position is that Lebanon is a “separate skirmish” and its operations against Hezbollah are covered by separate security mandates. Whether one agrees with that position or not, it is the stated position of a key party to the broader conflict.

And the host country’s Defense Minister just called that party a “cancerous state” whose creators should “burn in hell.”

Pakistan was chosen as mediator precisely because it maintains working relationships with both Washington and Tehran. That was the entire basis of its credibility. Army chief Asim Munir held calls with leaders in both capitals. Islamabad offered the Serena, the security, the diplomatic infrastructure. CNN described Pakistan as having been elevated from “pariah state” to indispensable mediator. Axios called Vance’s visit the most significant US-Iran engagement since 1979.

And the man responsible for the host country’s defense posture used his personal platform, hours before the highest-stakes diplomatic encounter in a generation, to declare one side’s ally a curse upon humanity.

The talks may still proceed. The logistics are in motion. But the mediator’s mask just slipped, and both delegations saw it fall.

[David Herman @DavidMarkHerman]

Just listened to @BBCWorldatOne. No one, but no one, mentioned Hezbollah's terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians. Not the presenter, not 2 BBC reporters or the 'experts' who were interviewed. This ocnstant barrage of anti-Israel bias by @BBCNews is totally unacceptable.

BREAKING: Lebanese MP Camille Chamoun defends Israel:

“Nothing in war is humane — but if Israel wanted to annihilate Shiites in Lebanon, it wouldn’t give warnings. We’d be seeing 100,000 casualties, not 2,000.”

Pedro Sánchez will be remembered as the man whose face was etched by a terror regime that massacred tens of thousands of its own citizens onto a ballistic missile aimed at innocent civilians.

Let me remind you, Mr. Sánchez: Israel did not attack Lebanon, not on October 8 and not now. It was Hezbollah that opened fire in defense of its Iranian masters. Israel has no conflict with Lebanon. It is at war with the Iranian axis of evil, with Hezbollah, and with its enablers, including Maduro and you.

You, Sánchez, chose to align yourself with this terror regime. By doing so, you have become a full partner in the oppression of the Iranian people and a full partner in the terror imposed by Hezbollah on Lebanon.

And we will not forget how you cynically exploited the release of hostages, women and children, at the Rafah crossing to stage a public relations campaign for Hamas.

Many European leaders are trapped in a profound moral vertigo that is dragging their nations toward the abyss. But in your case, this is not confusion. This is alignment. A deliberate alignment with Iran, with Hamas, with Hezbollah, with pure evil.

There are no words to describe my contempt for you. You are a complete and utter zero.

"The Lebanese must stop lying to themselves. This country is not « stuck » in a regional war, nor a victim of chance or bad luck. The truth is simpler and harsher: Lebanon is under Iranian occupation, and that is the real reason it is becoming a field of death."

Il governo spagnolo ha deciso di riaprire la sua ambasciata in Iran a #Teheran. Dopo che un mese fa aveva ritirato il suo ambasciatore in #Israele, quindi preferisce riallacciare i suoi rapporti con una teocrazia criminale che impicca innocenti. Non finge nemmeno più; è indecente.
