“Pakistan Not a Reliable Mediator”: Israel Envoy Raises Doubts Over Role in US-Iran Talks

New Delhi | April 10, 2026
In a significant geopolitical remark, Reuven Azar, Israel’s Ambassador to India, has expressed strong reservations about Pakistan’s credibility as a mediator between the United States and Iran.
Speaking on the evolving dynamics in the Middle East, Azar stated that Pakistan cannot be considered a “reliable” partner for facilitating dialogue between Washington and Tehran. His comments come at a time when diplomatic efforts and backchannel negotiations are being explored to ease tensions between the two nations.
The statement underscores Israel’s cautious stance on Pakistan’s potential involvement in sensitive international negotiations. It also reflects broader concerns regarding trust and consistency in mediation roles, particularly in high-stakes geopolitical conflicts.
The development adds another layer to the already complex relations in the region, as global powers continue to assess viable channels for de-escalation and dialogue.
