LAHORE:Jamaat-i-Islami Pakistan Emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman has strongly opposed the proposed Abraham Accords, describing them as a document of surrender aimed at forcing Muslim countries to accept Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land.
In a statement posted on X, Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman said the Pakistani nation would never accept any move to grant legitimacy to Israel’s illegal occupation. He said US President Donald Trump was once again pressuring Muslim countries after previously recognising occupied Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The JI chief said the US administration, in collaboration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had devastated Gaza and was now attempting to push Muslim states towards the Abraham Accords. Reaffirming support for the Palestinian cause, Rehman said the whole of Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people and that Jerusalem remains its rightful capital. Calling Israel an illegitimate state, he said the position was in line with the vision of Pakistan’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah and reflected the sentiments of the Pakistani people. He warned that any attempt to recognise Israeli control over Jerusalem would be rejected by the nation. He also urged Muslim rulers to represent the sentiments of the Muslim Ummah instead of bowing to American pressure.
