Israeli President confirms meeting a delegation of Pakistani expats
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has confirmed meeting a delegation of Pakistani ex-pats.
Herzog said that he received a delegation of Pakistani ex-pats who lived in the US “together with other members of other countries in their region”.
“And I must say this was an amazing experience. We haven’t had a group of Pakistani leaders in Israel in such scope. And that all stems from the Abraham Accords, meaning Jews and Muslims can dwell together in the region,” he said.
Herzog did not mention details about the Pakistanis he met.
Herzog made the confirmation during a special address at the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting on May 26 in Davos, Switzerland, as he talked about the Abraham Accords.

Pakistan does not recognize the state of Israel and, therefore no diplomatic relations exist between the two countries.
Following the Abraham accords, Pakistan had made clear that it cannot recognise Israel until a “just settlement of the Palestinian issue” is found.
