Amid reports of an exchange of goods between Pakistan and Israel, the Foreign Office (FO) denied on Sunday having made any trade with the middle-eastern nation.
\nThe Foreign Office spokesperson reacting to the reports of the sell of Pakistani commodities in the Israeli markets said there is no change in Pakistan\u2019s policy about the Jewish state.
\nThe FO spokesperson further directed to contact the Ministry of Trade and Commerce for further reaction to the news.
\nSeparately, in a press release, the Ministry of Commerce in Islamabad stated that the rumors of Pakistan beginning trade with Israel were unfounded and nothing more than propaganda.
\nThe release mentioned that the news of Pakistan starting trade relations with Israel was misrepresented by the American Jewish Congress in their press release, which didn\u2019t mention any official trade between the two countries.
\nThis statement was made in response to claims made by the American Jewish Congress that a shipment of Pakistani food products had been delivered to Israel by Pakistani-Jewish businessman Fishel Benkhald.
\nBenkhald shared a video on Twitter of the goods he had \u201cexported\u201d to Israel, including dates, dried fruit, and spices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
