Islamabad: The provincial assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) has unanimously passed a resolution rejecting Pakistan's decision to join the Board of Peace for Gaza set up by the United States.
Beginning this week, the KPK assembly, with Speaker Babar Saleem Swati in the chair, unanimously adopted the resolution moved by Law Minister Aftab Alam of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) supported the resolution, which stated that joining the Board of Peace is contrary to Pakistan's historic and principled stance and the will of the Palestinian people.
It argued that this move could damage the Palestinians' right to self-determination, warning that the sub-committees formed under this framework could act against Pakistan's national interests. The House demanded that the federal government adopt a clear and principled stance for the sovereignty, freedom, and right to self-determination of the people of Palestine and Gaza.
Imran Khan’s health worsens
Meanwhile, PTI has raised alarm over the health of its jailed founder, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, warning that a reported eye condition could cause permanent vision loss without urgent treatment. Khan has been in isolation since December 2, 2025—nearly 55 days—with no contact with family members or lawyers, according to the source.
"According to medical experts who reportedly checked him in jail, this is an extremely sensitive and serious medical condition which, if not treated promptly and properly, carries a high risk of permanent damage to his eyesight," the party said.
UAE backs out of Pakistan airport dealIn a last-minute setback for Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has reportedly abandoned its proposal to operate Islamabad International Airport. The development came after President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's three-hour stopover in New Delhi recently. The decision was confirmed by Pakistani daily The Express Tribune, which cited sources as saying that the plan appeared to have been dropped as the UAE did not identify a local partner to whom operations could be outsourced despite showing initial interest. The Pakistani media report did not link the collapse of the deal to any political motivations, but it comes amid a growing rift between the UAE and Saudi Arabia. |
