Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated that Israel and India have maintained a long-standing military partnership against Pakistan, describing both countries as Islamabad’s enduring adversaries. Responding to the revelations, Asif said they confirmed that cooperation between India and Israel against Pakistan was not a recent development. The post was later deleted; however, it was denounced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. During the brief conflict with India in May 2025, Pakistan also claimed that New Delhi had deployed Israeli-made drones. It said the drones were manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries, an Israeli defense company.
