The Foreign Office on Tuesday responded to the reports of a visit by a delegation of Pakistani journalists to Israel.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, the Foreign Office said, "The Government of Pakistan has noted reports regarding Pakistani journalists traveling to Israel. In this regard, it is clarified that Pakistani passports explicitly state they are “not valid for travel to Israel. "Therefore, no such visit is possible under existing regulations.
"Pakistan’s position on Israel remains unchanged. Pakistan does not recognize Israel and steadfastly supports the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
"Pakistan reiterates its unwavering commitment to a just and peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue in accordance with relevant UN resolutions and the aspirations of the Palestinian people."
Last week, Foreign Office said officials were gathering information on an alleged visit to Israel by a local delegation of journalists and influencers.
A report by the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom said a 10-member Pakistani delegation of journalists, intellectuals and influencers had visited Israel for a week.
