Israeli President Isaac Herzog has confirmed that two weeks ago a delegation from South Asia met with me on our soil, including two Pakistani-Americans.
According to the International News Agency, during the talks in the World Economic Forum, Israeli President Ishaq Herzog confirmed the meeting with a Pakistani delegation, but he did not reveal the identities of the members of the delegation.
The Israeli president added that the meeting with the Pakistani delegation took place two weeks ago. The delegation also included two Pakistani nationals who are permanently residing in the United States but are proud to be Pakistani.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said that the meeting with the Pakistani delegation was very welcome. I was pleasantly surprised because the Pakistani delegation had never met in Israel before.
Earlier, Anila Ahmed, a Pakistani-American, shared a photo of her meeting with the Israeli president on May 12 on Twitter. In which she is presenting a book written by her father Qutbuddin Ahmed on Tehreek-e-Pakistan and Quaid-e-Azam to the Israeli President. 🔴 Depuis le Forum économique de @Davos le Président de l'État d'Israël @Isaac_Herzog révèle s'être entretenu avec des délégations du Pakistan 🇵🇰 et d'autres délégations de pays musulmans de cette région.

Anila Ahmed is a politician, author and teacher and has a reputation for social work in the United States. Her tweet suggests she was part of a delegation to meet with the Israeli president.
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. I’m honored to be the first Pakistani & American to present a book, an eyewitness account of the #Pakistan movement written by my father, Qutubuddin Aziz, to the President of Israel, @Isaac_Herzog. The president’s warmth & grace humbled me. @ammwecofficial @sharakango pic.twitter.com/TY6qe2xRYX
Reacting to this, anchor Waqar Qureshi wrote that the then boss of Shirin Mazari and former foreign minister Raza Kasuri had also met the Israeli delegation in Turkey. Sharaka was honored to bring a delegation of Muslims and Sikhs from southeast Asia including the first Pakistani Jew allowed to travel to Israel to visit Israeli President Issac Herzog.

According to information available on social media, the delegation was sponsored by the Israeli-backed organization "Sharaka". The partner also confirmed the meeting with his official account. The delegation included Muslims and Sikhs from South Asia. Shocking to see @_AhmedQuraishi in Israel bec he not only works for PTV but closely linked to State institution of sensitive nature. For over a year he has been pushing a pro-Israeli agenda & targeted IK's indep FP! This seems to be part of the US regime change conspiracy agenda. https://t.co/w2g18cxFIC
It is pertinent to mention that the news of the visit of the then Prime Minister Imran Khan's Special Assistant Zulfi Bukhari to Israel in June last year was also circulating but the Foreign Ministry had denied these reports.
Dr. Shireen Mazari, today's self-appointed top #PTI anti-#Israel crusader, was DG ISSI in 2005 when her boss, then FM Kasuri, held first official #Pakistan-#Israel meeting in #Turkey, after which Israel waived import license requirement for 🇵🇰; saved her job by not objecting. /1 https://t.co/7CwScv60l7 pic.twitter.com/5yKUgaeHwZ
