Washington, May 28 -- US Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump, questioned Pakistan's reliability as a mediator in the US-Iran conflict and called on the country to diplomatically recognise Israel through the Abraham accords in a post on X. "It has been apparent to me for quite a while that Pakistan as a mediator is more than problematic. Their animosity towards Israel is long standing. It is undeniable that Iranian military aircraft are being housed on Pakistani air bases and past rhetoric from the highest Pakistani officials against Israel is disturbing," wrote Graham in his X post on Wednesday. The US Senator was referring to an earlier report that Islamabad provided safe harbour to Iranian military aircraft that may have shielded them from US airstrikes. Pakistan denied the report but Graham made a post on X at the time questioning the country's trustworthiness. In a separate post, he insinuated that Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir would discuss the status of Iranian military aircraft stationed on Pakistani soil during the latter's visit to Tehran last week. Graham also commented on Trump's call for Pakistan and other West Asian nations to join the Abraham Accords, which were concluded in the first Trump administration. Signing up to the accords would mean full diplomatic normalisation with Israel, which Pakistan has firmly opposed in the past. Reacting to a clip of Pakistan's defence minister Khwaja Asif expressing reservations about the accords, Graham said that Islamabad must make its position on the matter clear. "As to the defence minister's comments about the Abraham Accords, saying that Pakistan would never join because they don't trust Israel: The clip may be a year old, but I fear the sentiment is fresh."...
