Earlier, Zulfi Bukhari and the Foreign Office also denied reports that he had secretly visited Israel "to pass on a message of an important person."

Bukhari took to Twitter, clarifying, "[I] did not go to Israel. Funny bit is Pakistani paper says I went to Israel based on "Israeli news source" and the Israeli paper says I went to Israel based on a “Pakistani source” — wonder who this imaginative Pakistani source is."
