thebalanced.newsTrump Mentions Pakistan Army Chief, Omits PM in Abraham Accords Post Amid Policy Clarifications
US President Donald Trump’s social media post on the Abraham Accords mentioned Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir but omitted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, sparking debate over Pakistan’s leadership. Trump urged several Muslim countries, including Pakistan, to join the accords for economic benefits after US-Iran tensions ease. Pakistan’s government reaffirmed it will not recognize Israel until a two-state solution is achieved, with Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar dismissing claims of Islamabad joining the accords.
