• When asked about the possibility of a merger of security forces in the Middle East, “why not” say
•In the afternoon, Iranian President Katari Emir met at the deputy site of the Doha summit
Karachi: Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq dar hinted that if such a move surfaced, it is possible to join the proposed united front against Israel.
Pakistan has “very large” and “effective” armed forces that have proven their ability in traditional wars, and Mr. Dahl, who also holds a diplomatic affairs portfolio, said in an interview Al Jazeera.
He is answering the question of the position Islamabad may take in case a unified institution is formed in the Middle East to stop Israeli aggression.
When asked about the formation of such institutions – away from the UN structure – that intervention in Gaza is one of the options on the table, Mr. Dahl said that a mechanism could be depleted.
He mentioned talking along “some kind of merged security forces” during the recent interaction between the Arab States and the Arab League.
“Why not? What’s wrong? They should (have a joint force). According to their own abilities, their own strength, they should create some mechanism. Not for the purpose of aggression (SIC), but for peaceful purposes, to stop the occupier to stop a person who disobeys.”
When asked where Pakistan’s nuclear weapons would be, Mr. Dahl replied: “Obviously, as a member of Uma, Pakistan will perform its duties.”
When forced to elaborate, he cleared out nuclear weapons Pakistan saw only for deterrence without using them. “We have no intention of using it; it’s just a deterrent.”
He insisted: “But Pakistan has a very large, very effective army, very effective air force, very effective navy… We stipulate that if challenged, we can defeat (our opponents).
Then, the interviewer presented the latest one debate At the UN Security Council, Israel cited an attack in Pakistan in 2011 to justify its attack in Gaza.
“So if Pakistan is now attacked by a country like the United States, for example, Pakistan will behave differently (as in 2011)?” he asked.
“Whoever, who or the largest country, we are not allowed to violate our territorial integrity. We will respond. But I can’t see a reason why the United States or any other country will do it. India does it.
Needs for UN reform
Mr. Dahl stressed that Israel had attacked several countries in the Middle East and said international laws, international humanitarian rules and UN Security Council resolutions seemed to have “repeatedly any impact on a country”.
“This means that the multilateral system needs to be reformed very seriously now… It is a demand for the hour. I think the UN Security Council and the UN system itself need to be reformed very seriously.
Regarding whether Israel can attack Pakistan after Qatar, Dal reminded India to try this, and Israel “gives full support based on our information” and “the world believes that the claim has been exposed.”
He added: “We are ready. I’ll say again, we want peace. Nuclear-weapon countries don’t want any stabilization in the region because it will have consequences beyond (the region).
He said Israel and India were the only countries that did not comply with UN Security Council resolutions, stressing that if their resolutions were not implemented and implemented, a mechanism for “controlling the situation” was developed in the Council.
“It may require physical action, physical intervention,” he pondered.
