Donald Trump asked Pakistan to join the Abraham Accords and recognise Israel, linking it to any formal peace deal with Iran. Pakistan signalled resistance, with Khawaja Asif saying its fundamental ideologies could not be compromised.

Khawaja Asif is among the politicians who vehemently oppose any idea of normalisation of ties with the Jewish state. Last month, he called Israel a "curse for humanity", while accusing it of carrying out genocide in the region.
