Pakistan’s Foreign Office confirmed that Pakistan’s passport is not valid for travel to Israel. The government maintains its stance that does not recognize Israel and supports Palestinian rights, including the establishment of a sovereign state. The spokesperson reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to resolving the Palestinian issue peacefully.
The Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson, Shafqat Ali Khan, declared on Tuesday that it is impossible for Pakistani citizens to travel to Israel using their passports, as they are not valid for such purposes. This clarification comes in response to media inquiries about reports of Pakistani journalists visiting Israel.
The spokesperson emphasized, “Pakistani passports explicitly state they are ‘not valid for travel to Israel.’ Therefore, no such visit is possible under existing regulations.” He reaffirmed that Pakistan’s stance on Israel is consistent and unchanged.
Pakistan does not officially recognize Israel and firmly supports the rights of the Palestinian people. This includes backing the formation of an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, which identifies Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital. Khan also reaffirmed Pakistan’s dedication to achieving a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian issue, adhering to relevant United Nations resolutions and Palestinian aspirations.
In summary, Pakistan’s Foreign Office has reiterated that its passport is not valid for travel to Israel, emphasizing that this policy remains unchanged. Pakistan does not recognize Israel and continues to advocate for the rights of the Palestinian people, underlining its commitment to a peaceful resolution in accordance with UN resolutions.
