- On September 29, 2025, Trump, alongside Netanyahu, unveiled a 20-point Gaza ‘peace’ plan—a neocolonial scheme echoing Sykes-Picot and the Balfour Declaration—that entrenches Israeli control, mandates de-radicalisation, cedes 80% of Palestine and installs U.S.-vetted forces to sustain apartheid and ethnic cleansing.
- Prime Minister Shehbaz, seen as acting as Asim Munir’s proxy, has endorsed it— defying Jinnah’s anti-Israel stance and the national consensus against normalisation—sparking outrage, accusations of treason and investigations into U.S. influence and Zionist connections, reminiscent of Junejo.
As of September 30, 2025, Pakistan’s political landscape is fracturing under the weight of a diplomatic scandal that exposes the fragility of its foreign policy. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, operating as a proxy for the unelected military regime of Field Marshal Asim Munir, has openly endorsed U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, a blueprint that prioritises a two-state solution while implicitly legitimising Israel’s occupation. This move, announced amid Trump’s September 29 White House press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marks a profound betrayal of Pakistan’s foundational principles, intertwining the Palestinian and Kashmiri struggles in a shared quest for self-determination. Lacking any democratic mandate due to the Form-47 election manipulations, Sharif’s government appears driven by external pressures. The result: a nation sold out for fleeting geopolitical favors, with Sharif and Munir prioritizing Trump and Zionist interests over public sentiment.
The Treacherous Pivot: From Jinnah’s Legacy to Abraham Accords
Pakistan’s rejection of Israel dates to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s 1948 stance, branding the nascent state an “illegitimate entity” built on Palestinian dispossession, a stance echoed in declassified archives and upheld through decades of policy. Yet Sharif’s endorsement diverges sharply, aligning with the Abraham Accords’ framework rather than the 1967 pre-war borders Pakistan has historically championed. As detailed in a viral analysis, the Accords normalize ties without addressing Palestinian statehood or rights, entrenching occupation in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, core violations of UN resolutions and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) consensus. This isn’t mere diplomacy; it’s a capitulation that severs the ideological thread linking Palestine to Kashmir, both emblematic of resistance against colonial overeach.
Contrast this with ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan’s unwavering position: in 2023, he advocated a two-state solution strictly on 1967 lines, with Al-Quds as Palestine’s capital, as per Ministry of Foreign Affairs statements. Khan’s 2022 warning that the military-PDM hybrid would betray Palestine, proved prescient, especially after revelations that General Qamar Javed Bajwa pressured him in 2019 to engage Israel amid India tensions, a bid Khan rebuffed back then, which became a point of disagreement between the two before it escalated to Bajwa toppling Khan’s government in an orchestrated ‘Vote of No Confidence. Trump’s explicit claim that Sharif and Munir “back this 100% from the very beginning” from the outset underscores the regime’s complicity, with no parliamentary debate or cabinet resolution to mask the opacity.
Public outrage is palpable. Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Naeem ur Rehman invoked UN Charter Article 51, affirming Palestinians’ right to armed resistance against occupation, rejecting Sharif’s praise for a plan “built on the bodies of 66,000 martyrs.” The Palestine Action Coalition of Pakistan issued a scathing press release, demanding retraction, an apology, and recommitment to self-determination echoing a national consensus that views recognition of Israel as treason.
Unanimous Consensus in Pakistan: Recognition of Israel is Unthinkable
In Pakistan, the notion of recognising Israel is not merely controversial, it is anathema, a red line etched into the national psyche through decades of Islamic solidarity, anti-colonial fervor, and unyielding support for Palestine. From street protests to parliamentary debates, an extremely strong unanimous consensus prevails: normalization with the “Zionist entity” is out of the question, a betrayal that would fracture the ummah and erode Pakistan’s moral core. Recent uproar over a pro-Israeli researcher underscores this visceral hatred, with public figures and citizens alike decrying any whiff of compromise as treason. Analysts note that while elite circles may flirt with pragmatism, the masses rooted in a “profound and deeply ingrained sense of Islamic solidarity“, view Israel as an occupier and terrorist state, as echoed in fiery UN speeches labeling it a violator of resolutions and perpetrator of state terrorism. Social media amplifies this: Posts vetoing recognition garner thousands of likes, with users declaring, “People of Pakistan veto it and oppose it vehemently,” and warning that such a move would ignite “fierce political and public backlash, further destabilizing an already fractured nation.” Even conditional support is off-limits without a sovereign Palestinian state on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds as capital, a stance reiterated by leaders like Imran Khan.
This bedrock consensus renders Sharif’s embrace of Trump’s 20-point deal not just misguided, but a dagger in the back of the Pakistani people too. By endorsing a framework that sanitizes Israel’s genocide and entrenches occupation, the regime dismisses the will of 240 million citizens who see Palestine’s liberation as intertwined with that of Kashmir. It is a self-inflicted wound, trading national dignity for foreign scraps, alienating allies in the OIC and Non-Aligned Movement while inviting domestic upheaval.
A Profound Betrayal to the Muslim Ummah and the People of Pakistan
This deal transcends a mere policy misstep; it is a searing betrayal not only to the broader Muslim ummah but, more critically, to the very people of Pakistan, who would never, under any circumstance, accept such a capitulation. Across the nation, a palpable sense of disbelief grips the populace: How could a government, installed by U.S. machinations and helmed by a Zionist-aligned military dictator in Asim Munir, commit such a colossal treason in their name, against their explicit will? The streets of Karachi to the hills of Khyber buzz with incomprehension, families who mourned Gaza’s martyrs alongside their own Kashmiri kin now reel from the audacity of leaders who pledge solidarity with oppressors. This isn’t governance; it’s usurpation, a brazen imposition that mocks the sacrifices of generations who viewed Palestine as an extension of their own liberation struggle.
Worse still, despite this being the most sensitive topic in Pakistan’s history interweaving faith, identity, and sovereignty, no consultation with Parliament occurred prior to Sharif’s endorsement. No debate in the National Assembly, no input from opposition voices, no referendum to gauge the vox populi. Instead, in a shadowy sleight of hand, the unelected duo of Sharif and Munir stabbed the Muslim ummah in the back, fracturing global Islamic unity at a moment when everyone rallied against Israel’s aggression.
The Main Culprit Behind This Treason: Asim Munir
At the epicenter of this national betrayal stands Field Marshal Asim Munir, whose ascension to Chief of Army Staff on November 29, 2022, as is obvious now, was no accident but a calculated installation by external forces bent on reshaping Pakistan’s foreign policy. Munir, the real architect of Sharif’s pivot, embodies the military’s stranglehold, using the unelected prime minister as a mere mouthpiece for Zionist-aligned agendas. Even before his formal appointment, Zionist sympathiser Shama Junejo—whose pro-Israel tweets and Sharif family ties we detail later—publicly flagged Munir’s rise, tweeting on September 13, 2022, about how “the name of General Asim Munir who is at more stronger position to be the new COAS” haunted political rivals, signaling her insider knowledge of the orchestrated handover, as Munir was supposed to retire before the nomination of the next Army Chief. This prescient endorsement, months ahead of the fact, underscores Junejo’s role as a conduit for foreign lobbies.
Compounding this, Imran Khan’s explicit 2022 claim—that the current military-civilian setup would inevitably recognize Israel—paints a damning picture: Munir was deliberately brought into power to execute this very treason, subverting Pakistan’s anti-Zionist bedrock for personal and strategic gain. His brazen closeness to Donald Trump further cements this narrative. His close relationship with Donald Trump is evident, including White House invitations that were conducted without civilian oversight, where he discussed policy and brokered national assets. These interactions reflect a pattern in which Pakistan’s policy priorities increasingly accommodate external interests, subtly shifting the country’s stance on regional and international issues while maintaining the appearance of sovereign decision-making.
Israeli media has been unequivocal in celebrating this shift. In an article titled “Asim Munir: A New Era of Open Support for Israel,” published by Israel Inside Out, analysts hail Munir’s tenure as the dawn of “a notable shift in Pakistan’s military and diplomatic strategy,” explicitly linking his leadership to covert overtures and public endorsements that normalize ties with the occupation state. Munir’s regime has bartered sovereignty for scraps, proving that the general was imposed by those who view the ummah’s unity as an obstacle to empire.
The 20-Point Deal: A Colonial Dagger in the Back of Palestinians
At its core, Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan touted as a “peace blueprint” but dissected by analysts as a colonial relic represents a calculated stab at Palestinian sovereignty, reviving the imperial divide-and-rule tactics of the Sykes-Picot era. The deal mandates de-radicalization programs, economic zones under Israeli oversight, and a fragmented two-state framework that cedes 80% of historic Palestine to Israel while confining Gaza to a depopulated enclave, effectively greenlighting ethnic cleansing under the guise of “humanitarian relocation.” This is no equitable resolution; it’s a neocolonial imposition, echoing Britain’s 1917 Balfour Declaration by prioritizing settler-colonial expansion over indigenous rights, with Palestinians reduced to perpetual supplicants for aid in exchange for disarmed compliance.
The plan’s provisions, such as U.S.-vetted security forces and veto power over Palestinian governance, mirror the Oslo Accords’ failures, where promises of statehood dissolved into fortified apartheid. Endorsing it, Sharif not only endorses this dagger but wields it on behalf of his masters, ignoring the 66,000 Palestinian lives extinguished in Gaza since October 2023 and the UN’s repeated condemnations of Israel’s “genocidal intent.” For Pakistan, a nation forged in anti-colonial fire, this alignment with a deal that fractures the ummah’s unity is a moral abdication, trading the blood of martyrs for IMF loans and F-16 scraps. As global voices from the OIC to the Non-Aligned Movement decry it as “final solution lite,” Sharif’s complicity exposes the regime’s role as an accomplice in perpetuating the empire, ensuring Palestine’s subjugation endures under American patronage.
The Shama Junejo Enigma: Zionist Insider in Sharif’s Orbit
No thread unravels this betrayal more starkly than the Shama Junejo affair, a British-Pakistani analyst whose proximity to Sharif exposes systemic infiltration. Seated behind Defence Minister Khawaja Asif at the UNGA on September 24, Junejo claimed advisory status since May 2025, boasting of drafting Sharif’s “historic” speech and accessing secret files during side meetings. The Foreign Office disavowed her accreditation, Asif quipped, “Who is this woman?” yet her UN badge and boasts persist, fueling speculation of unofficial Zionist influence.
Junejo’s digital trail is damning. She has a history of of advocating Pakistan-Israel normalisation, clashing with national ethos. X posts reveal admiration: On August 19, 2022, she tweeted that if she met Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, she would make it her profile photo, expressing she would be honoured to meet him. Another from May 12, 2022, hailed Israel’s “innovation as a model,” urging a rethink of “old biases.” Recent condemnations of Gaza genocide notwithstanding such as walking out during Netanyahu’s UNGA entry—her pattern suggests tactical duality, aligning with Sharif’s pivot.
Ties to the Sharifs run deep. Junejo’s alleged attendance at family events in Lahore, and in 2024, she received a state award for “journalistic excellence” under Sharif’s administration despite her open Zionist leanings, a favoritism reeking of quid pro quo. Pictorial evidence links her to PML-N circles, including Sharif kin, predating her UN role. This isn’t coincidence; it’s a conduit for external agendas, amplified by Sharif’s unpublicized New York meeting with the American Jewish Congress head—no press release, no transparency.
A Nation Compromised: Calls for Accountability
Trump’s revelation that Sharif and Munir are “from the very beginning” allies lays bare the regime’s hybrid facade. As Pakistani Veteran Politician Javed Hashmi tweeted, “Shame on you… history won’t forgive,” invoking Jinnah’s ghost against bloodstained hands. The military’s strategic thumb, evident in Bajwa’s failed overtures and Munir’s silence, prioritizes alliances over ideology.
Pakistanis demand accountability: retraction of the endorsement, as called for by the Palestine Action Coalition; investigations into Junejo’s access and Sharif family connections; and legal action against Munir, Sharif, and associates for policy subversion. With public anger mounting, online discussions highlighting betrayal, this could fuel broader calls for regime change, echoing unrest. Will the Pakistani Parliament, often sidelined, stay complicit and risk damaging Pakistan’s standing, or initiate probes to hold those responsible accountable? The resolution will impact national trust and stability.The ummah watches; history, unforgiving, awaits.
