Pakistani terrorist and Lashkar-e-Tabia's deputy chief Saifullah Kasuri has issued an open threat to country's army chief Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He publicly warned that frontline leadership and top military officials in Pakistan attempting to Israel on US order will be “assassinated, destroyed and ruined.” He issued direct public threats of elimination while addressing a rally.

Saifullah Kasuri's remarks come on the heels of US President Donald Trump's appeal to several Muslim-majority nations, including Pakistan, to establish diplomatic ties with Israel under the umbrella of the Abraham Accords. Trump said that any agreement to end the Iran war should see countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Qatar join the Abraham Accords.

Kasuri warns against changing Pakistan’s Israel policy

During a public rally held after Eid al-Adha prayers, Kasuri strongly criticised Pakistan’s top leadership and warned against any attempts to secretly change the country’s long-standing stance on Israel. He said any move towards recognising Israel would face strong opposition, claiming that no global power can pressure Islamic countries into accepting Israeli statehood.

Mentions Pakistan-Saudi defence ties

Kasuri pointed to growing defence cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, saying Pakistan’s military strength now has the capability to counter Israeli influence in the region. Throughout his speech, he used emotionally charged references to jihad, martyrdom and the Palestine conflict to rally supporters and increase pressure against the government’s policies.

"Whoever accepts Israel, will be destroyed..god willing, this Muslim nation is our faith, this is our belief...This act of hostility will continue forever, until you join us in worshipping one Allah. The deal with Saudi Arabia is a head start for Islam... for the Ummah. This is not the work of any ruler, politician, or leader. It is not the result of plans.... it is the result of thousands and millions of people who have offered their life in the path of Allah..," he said.



But security experts and sources saw Kasuri's rhetoric as "staged" and a ploy by Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir to shrug off any US pressure to support Israel.

Why joining Abraham Accords is a tricky affair for Pakistan

Islamabad has emerged as an important mediator in efforts to end the US-Israel conflict with Iran. In April, Pakistan reportedly helped convince the US to stop attacks on Iran that had begun on February 28, and it is still trying to push for a permanent end to the war.

Because of its growing closeness with US President Donald Trump, Pakistan is currently enjoying greater international influence. However, experts say joining the Abraham Accords would be far more difficult for the country than mediating the Iran conflict.

Pakistan does not officially recognise Israel and has no diplomatic relations with the country.

"Unless there is meaningful progress toward Palestinian statehood, normalization would look less like strategic autonomy and more like capitulation. For now, the costs are likely to outweigh the gains," political analyst Raza Rumi told DW.

Iran war adds pressure on Pakistan

The ongoing Iran conflict has also affected Pakistan’s economy, especially fuel supplies. Oil prices have risen sharply since the war began, making it important for Pakistan that the fighting ends soon.

At the same time, pressure linked to Trump’s Abraham Accords proposal has placed Islamabad in a difficult position with no easy solution.

According to analyst Raza Rumi, Pakistani authorities understand that any move towards recognising Israel could trigger major backlash inside the country.

"Religious parties, Islamist groups, sections of the right-wing media, and even mainstream political actors would frame recognition of Israel as a betrayal of Palestine and Pakistan's ideological commitments," he said.

"Any government attempting such a move would face street agitation, parliamentary criticism, clerical mobilization, and accusations of acting under US or Gulf pressure. The Gaza war has made public opinion even more hostile to normalization."
