In a revealing exposé from Tel Aviv, experts dismantle Pakistan’s facade as an anti-terror partner. Despite decades of rhetoric, the nation has harbored terror outfits destabilizing the region, as detailed in a fresh report.
Osama bin Laden’s prolonged hideout near Pakistan’s military hubs exemplifies this hypocrisy. Geopolitical analyst Sergio Restelli, writing for The Times of Israel, frames it as systemic policy: two tracks running parallel—one for show, one for sabotage.
On the first anniversary of the Pulwama massacre that claimed 26 Hindu lives in Kashmir, Restelli shifts focus from mere recollection to reckoning. ‘What enabled such savagery? Cross-border support via safe houses, funding, and ideological fuel,’ he asserts.
The narrative extends to a clandestine axis: Chinese frontiers feeding Pakistan’s networks, which in turn bolster Iran’s missile ambitions through disguised aid and rerouted logistics.
General Asim Munir’s olive branches? Mere tactical maneuvers. They create diplomatic breathing room to regroup, fortify domestic control, and sustain proxy operations amid global scrutiny.
Time is the ultimate currency here. Weakened Iran needs it to recover; squeezed supply lines demand creative detours; unrelenting Washington pressure calls for endurance over defiance.
Pakistan excels at this game—professing stability while granting terror groups space to mutate and endure. This multi-layered deception spans Kashmir to Middle Eastern flashpoints, blending public diplomacy with hidden agendas.
Pulwama’s shadow lingers not as history, but as a blueprint for vigilance. Dismantling these parallel policies is key to genuine peace.
