Pakistan's stance on Palestine and Kashmir is very clear therefore recognition of Israel is out of the question till the issue’s resolution, he told the media on Wednesday.  The premier’s aide stressed that Prime Minister Imran Khan can step down but he can’t step back on such issues and the Arab states, especially Saudi Arabia, stand by Pakistan, Tahir said.

Tahir said the foreign minister will raise the demand for making blasphemy an international crime at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and making an international law to respect all the prophets and the holy books.
