Quetta, April 10 (NationPress) Prominent Baloch human rights advocate Mir Yar Baloch reached out to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, underscoring the ongoing hostility and anti-Israel sentiments from Pakistan.

He referenced comments made by Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, who recently labeled Israel as an "evil" and a "curse upon humanity," wishing that the founders of the Jewish State would "burn in hell.">

Asif later retracted his statement just before the US-Iran discussions scheduled for Saturday in Islamabad.

Mir asserted, "Such rhetoric is not only incendiary; it reflects a wider trend of state-supported extremism and regional instability."

He emphasized that Pakistan's recent initiatives to mediate between Iran and the United States were motivated not by genuine peace efforts but rather by a desire to propagate terrorism throughout the area.

Alleging that Pakistan supports various extremist organizations, Mir remarked, "Pakistan even organized a public demonstration in Punjab for Hamas leaders. This clearly indicates that Pakistan has evolved into a significant safe haven for Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, and other extremist factions. Without dismantling this terrorist stronghold, achieving enduring peace in the region will be unattainable."

He declared that the people of Balochistan are eager to contribute to peace rather than serve as instruments of discord, stating, "We seek acknowledgment not just of our independence but of our collective aspiration for a secure, stable, and prosperous region."

In a related statement, Shafi Burfat, Chairman of the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM), criticized Pakistan's so-called mediation attempts, branding it as a "patron of extremism and terrorism" in the area.

He stressed that any political, economic, or strategic engagement or peace effort in the region without India would undermine the very essence of such peace initiatives.

"India, the Middle East, and Iran are key political entities in the region, and any diplomatic, strategic, or economic progress involving them without India would lack completeness and broader legitimacy. Accepting Pakistan, viewed as a longstanding supporter of extremism and terrorism, as a mediator for peace talks and ceasefire discussions is akin to asking a wolf to safeguard the lambs and young goats," Burfat expressed on X.

"Such a scenario would be both tragic and alarming. The global community must recognize that India is a significant and powerful player in the region. Any endeavor to exclude or marginalize India from regional discussions on political, economic, and strategic matters would ultimately hinder the pursuit of peace," he added.
