Reuven Azar, the Ambassador of Israel to India, expressed trust in the United States’ choice to utilize Pakistan as a facilitator for specific reasons. Azar emphasized that Jerusalem relies on Washington’s decision as long as the 15-point plan to resolve the Middle East conflict is executed. Reports have suggested that the White House employed Pakistan to communicate with Iran regarding a temporary ceasefire, with Islamabad conveying responses on a US-drafted 15-point plan.
Azar mentioned that Israel anticipates cooperation from the Iranian regime following the elimination of “existential threats,” particularly Iran’s military nuclear program. He expressed satisfaction that military operations have ceased, paving the way for diplomatic efforts. Israel hopes for Iranian compliance with President Trump’s 15-point plan for peace, emphasizing readiness to defend against any resumption of hostilities.
The Israeli diplomat highlighted the destruction of Iran’s nuclear weapons production capability and noted internal discord within the regime. Azar stated that Israel will closely monitor Iran’s nuclear activities to ensure compliance with cessation agreements. He pointed out signs of instability within the Iranian regime, including divisions between the IRGC and leadership, inviting foreign militias, and public reactions against the regime, indicating potential for change in the future.
