In a notable political development, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has opted out of an all-parties conference organized at the Aiwan-e-Sadr to express solidarity with Palestine.
No PTI leader attended the event, raising eyebrows and prompting discussions regarding the party's motives.
Sources suggest that PTI's refusal to participate stems from concerns about displeasing the Zionist lobby and the influential Goldsmith family. The party appears apprehensive that speaking out against Israel could jeopardize the safety of its leaders, particularly those currently living abroad. The decision not to attend is further fueled by fears of losing access to funding from Western and Indian sources, which are critical to the party's financial stability.
Additionally, there are underlying concerns regarding visa issues for PTI leaders in the UK and the US, adding another layer of complexity to their decision-making process. This boycott of the all-parties conference reflects PTI's cautious approach to foreign relations, particularly regarding Israel and its supporters.
As the situation unfolds, political analysts are closely monitoring how this decision might impact PTI's standing among its voter base, especially those who prioritize solidarity with Palestine.
