ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan
Foreign Office has stated that there's no change in Islamabad's policy towards Tel Aviv amid reports that a Jewish Pakistani has been permitted officially to travel to Israel on a Pakistani passport.
FO Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal was responding Thursday to a question during weekly press briefing on Pakistan's policy towards the Jewish state.
Fishel Khalid, 31, had applied for permission through an app of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Oct 28, three days after an Israeli journalist tweeted about a plane flown from Tel Aviv landed in Islamabad which the government had vehemently denied.
On January 2 this year, Fishel received a call from Foreign Ministry informing him about the grant of permission, that he tweeted only Wednesday. He will be the first Pakistani in public knowledge allowed to travel to the forbidden land on an official permission.
