Pakistan's foreign office has clarified that a meeting between the prime minister's tourism aide and an Israeli official at a major travel fair in London was not authorized by the government. The aide, Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan, stated he was unaware he was speaking with an Israeli delegation, emphasizing that the encounter was unplanned and that his focus remained on promoting Pakistan's tourism sector. Officials dismissed speculation that the incident signals a shift in Islamabad's policy toward Israel or participation in the Abraham Accords, reaffirming Pakistan's support for an independent Palestinian state. Discussions about Pakistan's possible involvement in a multinational Gaza Stabilization Force are ongoing, with no decisions made yet.
