Pakistan officials deny visiting Israel last November.
But what is also interesting to note was the activity inside and outside Pakistan during that timeframe – therefore August – December 2020.
A thread:
UAE and Bahrain sign peace agreements with Israel on September 15, 2020.
Internationally, the Trump-led diplomacy continued with other Arab nations which also signed peace treaty with Israel.
From August 2020 to December 2020, Op-Eds by Pakistani authors begin appearing in Israeli publications advocating Pakistan improve ties with Israel.
Here are some of the articles published in Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post.
In one Op-Ed published in the Jerusalem Post on August 2020, the Pakistan author writes:
“The only silver lining … is that there is clear recognition within the Pakistani security establishment on the need to revisit its Israel-Palestine policy."
In November 2020, news emerges of a Pakistani official traveling to Israel. It is denied
But interestingly, the same month, a Pakistani TV anchor tweets that “Pakistan must revisit its Israel policy.”
And another anchor appears on an Israeli channel arguing for better ties.

Yesterday a Pakistani author wrote in Israel Hayom - the publication which claimed an official visited Israel - “There is a realization in policy circles, civilian, military, that relations between Middle East's two nuclear-weapons states are important..." israelhayom.com/opinions/pakis…
پاکستانی حکام نے گذشتہ سال بھی اسرائیلی دورے کی خبروں کی تردید کی تھی۔
لیکن ایک دلچسپ بات جو سامنے آئی وہ تھی گذشتہ برس اگست سے لے کر دسمبر میں بین الاقوامی سیاست اور پاکستان میں اسرائیل کے حوالے سے ہونے والے چند واقعات۔

With the Elections (Second Amendment) Ordinance 2021, the government expects the ECP to make long-term arrangements on the basis of a short-term law.
Why is that unlikely to happen?
Thread:
Sources say that the government’s election ordinance seems to be just “an eyewash”, adding that the ruling party did not table the ECP’s reports on electronic and internet voting in the parliament in the past three years.
And now the PTI has brought an ordinance, when there are no upcoming elections to test EVMs and I-Voting before the 2023 polls.
Polls are scheduled in AJK in August, but election officials in AJK have already opted out of being used as an experiment.
The enablers of corruption must also be held accountable, says the prime minister.
The prime minister says his government came with a robust public mandate to get ride of this menace from the country. “But what is needed is international cooperation to bring perpetrators of financial crimes to justice,” he added.
The PM then proposed 7 steps the international community can take:
1. The stolen asests of developing countries must be returned 2. Authorities in havens must impose criminal and financial penalties 3. The enablers must be held accountable
