Jemima Goldsmith Responds to Pakistani Defence Minister's Remarks on Jewish Identity
Jemima Goldsmith, former wife of imprisoned ex-Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, responded to Defence Minister Khwaja Asif's remarks on Jewish identity, which emphasized maternal lineage as the determinant. Goldsmith agreed with the principle but noted it meant she was not recognized as Jewish by the community, given her Protestant mother. She accused Asif of attempting to undermine her sons, who are British citizens. Khan's son Kasim also criticized Asif's comments, questioning their logic and highlighting inconsistencies regarding Jewish identity.
