Former prime minister Imran Khan has clarified that his stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict aligned with Pakistan’s position, a day after an opinion piece in the Jerusalem Post claimed that the PTI founder favoured normalisation of ties with Israel.

“My stance on Israel aligns with Pakistan’s position,” he told reporters in an informal conversation at the Adiala Jail on Saturday.

Pakistan does not have diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv, and believes in a “two-state solution in accordance with the relevant United Nations and OIC resolutions as well as international law, with pre-1967 borders and Al-Quds Al-Sharif (Jerusalem) as the capital of Palestine”.
