Pakistani Defense Minister Deletes Anti-Israel Tweet After Netanyahu Response

Pakistan's defense minister deleted an anti-Israel tweet after responses from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Sa'ar. The minister had called Israel "evil and a curse for humanity" and expressed hope that those who created the state "burn," referring to it as a "cancerous state on Palestinian land." Following the diplomatic storm and Israeli officials' responses, the Pakistani minister reversed course and removed the tweet. Pakistan is scheduled to host peace talks between Iran and the US.
