As the war in the Middle East entered its second month, efforts to de-escalate and push for peace gathered pace, with Pakistan attempting to position itself as a key diplomatic player. However, an Israeli envoy firmly dismissed Islamabad’s role, instead expressing a clear preference for India as a “better mediator.”
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, special envoy at Israel’s foreign ministry, told news agency ANI from Jerusalem that the conflict expanded almost immediately after it began. “Well, we've been involved in a multi-front regional conflict since the 7th of October, when we were attacked by the Iranians' proxy Hamas from the south. And then on the 8th of October, when we are attacked by an Iranian proxy from the north. And so multi-front is already something happening for a long time, unfortunately.”
