Pakistan calls for Muslim states to unite against Israel | 16 June 2025 | Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has called on Muslim nations to unite against Israel following its strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites. He warned that failing to act collectively would only encourage further attacks across the Middle East. Speaking in the National Assembly on Saturday, Asif argued that Israel "did not act alone" and had received "intelligence, cover, and support." He said the Muslim world remained "militarily vulnerable" and urged a joint response. "Just as Israel is currently targeting Yemen, Iran, and Palestine, if the Muslim world does not unite today and continues to prioritize its own interests and agendas, then everyone's turn will come," he told lawmakers. Asif called for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to convene and devise a strategy to confront Israel.
