3:33 am
ah i the israel's offensive in gaza caused widespread death and injury un secretary general antonio terrace called for an immediate cease fire. but israel's catholic, a prime minister benjamin netanyahu insisted that the offensive would go on as long as necessary. well lead as express that concerns pocket some prominent and demanding a c 5. the un general assembly held an emergency session and focused on foreign minister sharma corporation. was there looking for consensus to put an end or he called the atrocities in palestine? but what role does pocket don't play given the geopolitical dynamics and some of
3:34 am
its key muslim allies? normalize relations with israel focused on foreign minister shop? i mean, career, she talks to al jazeera. i shop, i would greatly foreign minister focused on thank you for talking to al jazeera. how would you characterize israel's actions in gaza over the last weeks back in human encore for the excessive use of force on the 27th of ramadan. you know, packing exxon mosque was unacceptable and dat triggered off the crisis miss. what's your reaction to news of a ceasefire having been reached? i'm very happy about the news. i hope it holds boss. experience shows that it did
3:35 am
not hold in 2014, but i hope it holds. is there any indication as to what, what suddenly transpired there to make israel realize that it couldn't go on? i think public official is building up. public official is building up all of the world and the lives that they were losing the media wall. nobody expected such a shop people's reaction. the government responded later. the people reacted 1st. at this is the qualitative change. one. i think israel was not him expecting the reaction within the mixed city using his right, you know, medicine ins. arabs use it all up, confronting each other in his right. that is a new and precedent to development as part of your efforts. here at the you and in
3:36 am
new york, the you did convene a meeting of the organization of islamic corporation. and again, you said in the speech that the you said before the, the, the muslim, almost must offend the palestinians. i'm curious, they're members of the oh i see include so don, morocco, the you a he, bahrain who eval, normalize their relationships with israel under the abraham because they feel. ready the same way, do they feel that the palestinians deserve to be defended any more be justified it that this was a step towards peace, normalization. and the israeli reaction, ah, i would think would somewhat disappoint them. was there any indication of that in the me? i didn't, they sent one voice, they went to, if the gauge, the sentiment within the countries st sentiment,
3:37 am
they realize that people were disappointed. but you said that the power steering issue had gone on the back burner. i mean, you can get a better example than, than these, these nations normalizing relations. do you think anything has changed now, or will we be back in the same situation as we were before? and i think time, israel will do the same thing. it'll, it'll move the grass once again. you cannot shove the palestinian question under the carpet for too long it'll resurface. you can look the other way. but then it's simmering. well, that brings us neatly on to the biden administration's reaction to the bottom. and how do you, how do you assess washington's reaction to, to fears really killing of hundreds of civilians and gaza. i think we were slow, they should have reacted and acted speedily and they could have saved some lives.
3:38 am
this isn't a decision which is very experience, administration v foreign policy. so one expected a quicker response. the delayed response sort of gave an impression that they were not prepared to deal with a situation like this. isn't it precisely i had experienced that suggests this wasn't been caught unaware. this was a very calculated delay, a great calculated response. i mean obama at the same thing. of course, let, let israel do whatever it has to do, kill as many people as it has to. and then obama will eventually, you eventually would then say, so then, then yes, democratic party as always. right? so, you know, spoken about human rights. well, as we get, the policy would have would have human rights at the center and use sol. how into dr. law at mad at dad in law was being ly. leave it. ah. so with this
3:39 am
good news, i think attention will now focus on the human rights gotten so i hope, i hope democracies in the west do not overlook the human issue. that's precisely what joe biden did, and as you said, with a great deal of experience, which suggested a great deal of calculation, that if things did deteriorating them, at least that was going to be his position based on his experience, his, his decades in congress and no matter the humiliation once again, benjamin at yahoo! the day after bite and asked for the escalation escalated a humiliation he's prepared to go through that because he feels it's necessary. this is calculated surely this wasn't just being who i would say that perhaps they were trying. and perhaps i have no inside information. i'm just guessing
3:40 am
perhaps up privacy nathan, yahoo was paying politics, you know, ah, to regain last political ground. and for that he had to show flex muscle. he had to shaw to his electorate. that is a strong man. he means business or biden was prepared to sacrifice his standing in the world in order to know perhaps they kept trying. the patch kept trying and the engagement that i had betrayed the check, the blinking, he did tell me that an extensive diplomatic effort was under way. so what we're going to say, i mean, a few weeks ago anthony, blinking said that human rights would be the centerpiece of american foreign policy . that's completely impacted in years. but then now it's time for them to demonstrate and show the world that they believe in human rights. but surely the
3:41 am
lesson is here that there is a ruthlessness in biden's foreign policy approach, which is once he's made up his mind that israel is the ally in the region that the u. s. doesn't want to get involved in another middle east conflict. he'll stick to it, it's fine. if hundreds of men, women and children are killed in their beds in garza, it's a price that he feels is worth paying them. i'm not sure of ruthlessness and there's the us cannot remain a different they all global paul. you know, they cannot look the other way. they have responsibilities, and many americans who feed in a particular way. if they did not, you won't have seen the demonstrations peaceful demonstrations in chicago in michigan and other us towns. i suppose where this is leading as far as pakistan is concerned, and as we look at our biden foreign policy agenda is the suggest. something that i glean for was once biden's mind is made up even if it's only the short term until
3:42 am
his mind changes. again, but once he's dismissed country or people, he'll have no qualms about sacrificing population. and i say this in the, in the context of pakistan because it's been very clear since biden was inaugurated . but he doesn't seem to have time for pakistan. there's been no phone call to iran con. there are summits which pakistan's neighbors are invited to the climate change summit. pakistan is involved even their pockets done in such a crucial part of the climate discussion. envoys go to the regional the time they don't stop in pakistan. does that concern point point understood point well made, but the question is, should they do that? and can they afford to ignore box bob? look at the size of the country. look at the you, strategic location of the country. right. look at the presence of pakistan, but then duma right. look at the history that box van has had with us.
3:43 am
we've been friends and allies in difficult time, so that's not how they fit towards going to be a bomber administrator, and they just will use the sheltering the hall county network and the place. some of them was having a retirement. well, look at the look at the need for pakistan, for peace and stability, and a lot of fun. is that over? not yet, not yet, but then why do you think the vitamin insertion is acting in this way, given the historical role of focused on in, in theaters that us are crucial to speak for the us have a hunch there. i hope they realize the importance of boxes fun and i'm sure they have found new friends in the region. but why lose all ones? in fact, in the public pronouncements on, i've got to stand a ways to emphasize focused on as one of several nations with
3:44 am
a stake in the future. galveston, the way that we mention china, india, iran, russia, and pockets on whereas perhaps before, there was a sense of pockets on which is probably just okay with us because we were always advocated that of us thought is a shared responsibility. you know, you cannot just focus on pockets on if things go wrong and you hold pockets on this, one will know we have played our part. we will continue to play apart, were peace and stability. but it's a shared responsibility. we cannot be held responsible if there are internal squabbling, is going to find a stop. if there is an in fight, you know, a boss struggle going on and a lot of sun, what we are saying is, we seriously with sincerity. want to see peace and stability in the wind sun because we did better fish these off on a sob if any country benefits from peace and
3:45 am
a lot of san becca thought. how crucial was focused on and getting patel about to, to agree to that, to the piece deal in the 1st place and getting the tyler bonds negotiate well. you can ask and better job the role buckets on played. he has publicly acknowledged deconstructive role. the positive role of pockets on his plate in getting the thought a bond to dig into shading table in pushing the piece process forward in getting a, a piece agreement between the taliban and the us. the doha disagreement in getting the piece in drop can't be stalks started in building a consensus for the rules and procedures of engagement and still trying to break the stalemate that exists at the moment. how would you characterize pocket stones relationship with taliban? there is that sense we're focused on no longer has any you opperation or
3:46 am
involvement with the, with the taliban strategic depth houses as focused on used to good. so what were you just like trusted advisors? i mean, there are, there is a sense of, of a taliban is going well. pragmatic itself is what she was able to learn over the years. one thing i think that thought a bon and the government has relies or should realize that the people find his fun the all the very mean majority once be se raglin. the pulse now give it was focused on was actively preventing the afghan government and functioning with its sponsorship off of the taliban. right. that does that sense of that? that's that relation to change? how, how, how, how will we stopping then going to southern country that countries to take the decisions. and we have a very clear policy of non defense. we have learned over the years. and we
3:47 am
do not want to meddle in that internal affairs. what we are saying is we will be honest brokers. you would be facilitators, and that's it. would you think it's because of focused on weakened influence over the taliban? that the washington doesn't seem to need you anymore because you don't have the influence. i mean, you counselor, when either you do or you are having an operational role with taliban, in which case you're a nefarious actor or you don't have an operational incident. so the taliban, in which case you are relevant to washington house pockets on will never be irrelevant. mark my words, we will never be irrelevant. if you look at the region picture. if you look at the new global challenges in the making bucks on will always remain relevant and you do get the sense. i think you hinted at this earlier though, that if the taliban does renege on the deal is about might be blamed. actually, even though it's all quiet now, well,
3:48 am
it's easy. it's convenient to make people as pastor buck for the fact of the matter is we have in all the interactions we've had to thought about, we've got a good we have told them that they have gained respectability. by, by engaging we have told them of homicide is different in the last 2 decades. it has changed. you know, you cannot live in the past except new realities. and one man can and basically, it's your country, but have to reconcile. that's talking to taliban and india putting feelers out with each other that must concern you there. sure. if it's all about his taking you at its word and so was there was nothing. there was an suggestion to the taliban as looking at the new reality about gallons. down, which means that it might have to have a relationship with india and other nations. once the u. s. alone,
3:49 am
you see on the sun is a solid country and they have every right to have relations with india. and they've had relations with india. and we have no, we have no issue with that. what we are saying is, and we are not even objective india playing a post conflict, constructive rule and reconstruction in rebuilding. the real issue with that. what we have said is they have the limitations of the peace process because they do not have a did not immediately because of a lot of fun. they do not have 3000000 refugees a living in their country. we do, we do. the world has forgotten them. but we are living them. but you told me afghan isn't as a sovereign country, but what it will be is a country which the u. s. will continue to bomb it will and surely i've got to start will go back to the situation. it's also had in the past of
3:50 am
a regular jostling of, of great power competition. and in this case now, china, india, russia, iran. but finally, finally, i've had a thought is one area where all the big players have a consensus. china, prussia, european union, the us there is a convergence on a lot of sun. they could have differences and other areas, but here, fortunately, there is a convergence. and it's interesting to see china's growing role. now as, as the u. s. leaves and china also very concerned about the spillover of islamic militancy, intuition, john, or over the border china offering to host talks between the afghan government with taliban talking of peacekeeping operations potentially of things got to get out of hand. this is christalin jer, politically. they see china step into the role of the china, the neighbors,
3:51 am
you know, the interest is inevitable and they also realize that they can help them. you know, a lot of san would require reconstruction. a lot of san would require investments, boast, conflict, investments, and china, most times to gain the economic got it all the china is building the go, other port that has become a priest through a lot of font being land locked. central asian republics being land locked. right? so if there's an interest greater interested in a lot of fun and simulation republics who are part of su, the china boxes on russia. ah, then this is natural, but isn't the early then the, because of the nature of the us is strategic posture. but if i've got some dollars,
3:52 am
get more involved with belton road and does get more involved with china and suddenly washed. it'll become interesting again because it it, so as it is concerned, it doesn't want to have any one have always advocated. it would be a mistake to lose interest. it will be a political mistake that washington will make if they lose interest in parker stock. it is in their long term interest to remain engaged with boxed up. well, let's talk about them. the chinese pockets on economic cargo, the development of god, port potentially potentially a base for chinese warships in the, you know, with access to the a, b and c. how does it feel the commercial hub? well, points can be used for many different purposes. they can be, but that the choices as well, that's the choice you've made. how does it feel to be so closely associated with the power that washington feels is its biggest strategic enemy?
3:53 am
we know wanted them to be an abuse. right. we have been historically bridge builders, unix and nixon to china, especially on the late pac sun, played a positive role. and who has benefited from that. both this china america closeness has been mutually beneficial. we are friends with the boat. so what we're saying is if you need, i hope we have that, have you have you felt over pressure from washington? you spoke to blink him to weaken your ties with, with paging or is it just passive? i think i don't think they would expect us to weaken. thighs would be ging been know, be ging has stood with us to pick and tin. their relationship has been consistent. consistent. you know here every 4 years there's
3:54 am
a new administration and there's a new approach. but with china, governments and governments have come in and gone, but the relationship is people centric. but even when we look at the geo political structure moving forward, then we and we have now china and pakistan getting ever closer. we have the u. s. and india getting of a clue for always seeing these, you know, we've seen a potential proxy situation once again in south asia there. whether this is how things will be lined up. i hope not. i hope not, because we are not looking for. so i forced board war gap situation. we want to have good relations with the united states. we understand the significance, the importance connected states, the value, the strategic relationship with china. so we want to have good relations and both.
3:55 am
i mean, some say, well this gives pakistan the closeness with trying to get focused on the confidence to continue to, to have a, have a rocky relationship with india perhaps. but i mean, it was the science to be factors. we do not want to have a rock initiative in india. you want to be at peace with all our neighbors who run away from the campus a dialogue who's run away from the comprehensive dialog box stop. who's shied away? not buck us on who has vitiate of the climate, not puckers on india, 5th of august 2019 the 1000000 the unilateral d e would violated the bilateral understandings between pakistan and india. right. and if ticket unit at elections now that has boom and to day the kashmir policy that india, b, g, b government is pursuing that our voices within india that have said this in going to work revisited and the sides very promising. that the answer that for the seas far as being on it again on the line of control. the army chivas of pakistan says
3:56 am
now is the time to bury the past and move forward. he said we have a dialogue that's going on. talk of a summit between pockets on an india's leaders. why, why do you think now what is what has changed suddenly then you think see a, a preference for peace, instability, the reach of all decision to move from your politics to joey. could mix our desire to 18 economic security to promote investments, to promote regional connectivity. how can we have these look at it would be without having peace here that you'd like us to see you on time. see, we do not have go to the u. s. prison. we have to see what our interests all our interests lie in peace with india. our interests lie would be in one stop, right? that gives us that east, west regional connectivity. that opens up new markets for us. right. and,
3:57 am
and we benefit from that is an amazing phenomenon in the middle east right now. there that as the bite and ministration disengages various powers that didn't really talk to each other before i begin to talk to each other, we hear about, you know, about channels being saudi arabia and iran, for example. now that items seems to be suggesting he means that when he says he does not want to get involved in the sense that because the u. s. had such a huge presence in central asian south asia, that was an impediment to geopolitical harmony in some ways. now that they're leaving, perhaps their up bigger avenues for india and pakistan and other nations now to properly have a dialogue without knowing that that the u. s. and the others know, the fact is that if, if tensions go down and if miss understandings can be dissolved through better communication. the region benefits if there is an improvement between
3:58 am
saudi arabia and iran, both start to get if there is a better understanding between saudi arabia and turkey, both start to be in the past, the u. s. louis, there was, if they are argy disengaging, it seems that diplomacy might actually flow. they, they were the, there is a question, is we are jo, graphically connected some powers have the choice of leaving at will do we, we don't hear geographically died. where will we go? we have to pull it just that's why our approach ought to be different. foreign minister, thank you very much for talking to algebra. i news
