In a significant political move, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided not to participate in an all-parties conference held at Aiwan-e-Sadr to show support for Palestine.
None of the PTI leaders attended the event, which has sparked speculation and discussions about the party's reasoning.
Sources indicate that PTI's absence is due to concerns about offending the Zionist lobby and the influential Goldsmith family.
The party seems worried that criticizing Israel might put the safety of its leaders at risk, especially those residing abroad.
Additionally, there are fears that their stance could threaten crucial funding from Western and Indian sources that support the party financially.
There are also concerns about visa issues for PTI leaders in the UK and the US, which adds complexity to their decision-making. This boycott of the conference highlights PTI's cautious strategy regarding international relations, especially in relation to Israel and its allies.
As the situation develops, political analysts are watching closely to see how this decision will affect PTI's popularity among voters, particularly those who prioritize solidarity with Palestine.
