THE PAKISTAN-SAUDI DEFENCE PACT
WHAT ABOUT PALESTINE?
Saudi Arabia signs a mutual defense pact with nuclear-armed Pakistan after Israel’s attack on Qatar- AP explains

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan have signed a mutual defense pact that defines any attack on either nation as an attack on both — a key accord in the wake of Israel’s strike on Qatar last week.
The kingdom has long had close economic, religious and security ties to Pakistan, including reportedly providing funding for Islamabad’s nuclear weapons program as it developed. Analysts — and Pakistani diplomats in at least one case — have suggested over the years that Saudi Arabia could be included under Islamabad’s nuclear umbrella, particularly as tensions have risen over Iran’s atomic program.
But the timing of the pact appeared to be a signal to Israel, long suspected to be the Middle East’s only nuclear-armed state, which has conducted a sprawling military offensive since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel stretching across Iran, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Qatar, Syria and Yemen.
Israel did not respond to requests for comment. The pact marks the first major defense decision by a Gulf Arab country since the Qatar attack. The United States, long the security guarantor for the Gulf Arab states, also did not respond to questions posed to the State Department.
COMMENT
Either there is some dark, sinister American scheme underlying this ‘pact’ which appears to have been designed to lure Pakistan into a quagmire to enable the U.S. to bomb and destroy Pakistan’s nuclear capability as was the case in Iran, OR the pact is the consequence of genuine Saudi fear of being attacked by Israel since already seven Muslim countries have been bombed by Israel with reckless impunity.
The pact signifies that Pakistan has full confidence in its military capability to confront and defeat Israel in any hostile action which these barbaric Yahood are contemplating.
It is also clear that from Pakistan’s perspective the motivation is purely mercenary. By virtue of the pact, Pakistan will be paid billions of dollars. Be it as it may, the primary fact for understanding is that Pakistan does have confidence in its military capability to go to the rescue of the wholly incapable kufr Saudi regime should Israel strike.
The objective of the pact has absolutely no Islamic or Deeni dimension. It is purely mercenary. Despite having the capability to confront and neutralize Israel, Pakistan has not lifted a finger to aid the Palestinian Muslim segment of the Ummah who is suffering daily massacres, brutal bombing, manufactured starvation, destruction and devastation of the entire land. The genocide inflicted by the US and Israel is in progress now for almost two years. But Pakistan despite its proclaimed capability has resolutely refused to aid the Muslims of Palestine as the Shariah demands.
In the circumstances prevailing today, it is Waajib for Pakistan to go to the aid of Palestine. There is no other Muslim country capable or willing to aid Palestine. The pact with the kufr Saudi regime is ample evidence for Pakistan’s military capability. But since the regime in Pakistan is also kufr, the Shariah has no role to play.
The defence pact is not due to any consideration for defending the Haramain Shareefain as is being stupidly and falsely peddled. The motivation is pure mercenary design.
This is the state of the Ummah today. An entire country is being devastated destroyed and obliterated by the Yahood and Nasaara while over 50 Muslim countries stand as idle spectators watching the elimination of a Muslim land along with its population. They continue recklessly in their sport, amusement, fisq and fujoor, and their satanically hedonist lifestyle so conspicuously demonstrating their insensitivity towards the Muslims of Palestine being brutally massacred on a daily basis. In fact, daily killing a hundred Palestinians, expelling thousands from their homes and wroughting havoc on the land on an unprecedented scale have all become a norm – an acceptable norm which evokes some feeble, stupid bleats of sympathy from the Ummah at large. The genocide being daily executed is no longer newsworthy.
According to the Shariah, the Law of Jihad demands that the closest Muslim country to Palestine should incumbently go to their aid. But alas! All of these miserable countries are in cahoots with the Yahood and Nasaara. Their indifference for the Palestinians is aggravated by the inordinate fear they have for Israel and America, hence they quake and shudder in their boots.
In the circumstances, it devolves as a Waajib obligation on Pakistan to defend Palestine. It has the military capability, but the regime in Pakistan as well as its military are all fussaaq and kuffaar of variegated hues and corrupt mercenary motives. Thus, the Qur’aan says to the Palestinian Muslims:
“If Allah abandons you, then who is there besides Him to help you?
There is NO ONE! May Allah Ta’ala have mercy on this miserable, unfortunate, rebellious Ummah drowning in fisq, fujoor and kufr. Allah Ta’ala is Muqallibul Quloob/Musarriful Quloob. The hearts of people are in His Hands. Only He can cure the brains and hearts of this Ummah from the eburnation which has fossilized its thinking.
“Allah guides whomever He wills, and He misguides whomever He wills.”
