SEAToday.com, Islamabad - The Pakistani government decided to officially recognize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “terrorist”, and declared Israel as “an entity committing war crimes.”

On Saturday (7/20), Pakistan also announced a boycott of products and businesses linked to Israel, forming a committee to identify said products and companies in Pakistan.

“A committee has also been constituted to identify such companies and products in Pakistan that may be directly or indirectly abetting Israel or forces, committing war crimes against Palestinians,” said Rana Sanaullah, adviser on political affairs to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

The move came after a deal between the government and political party Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP). It demands authorities to provide further humanitarian assistance for Palestinians and ban all products of companies supporting Israel.

It also urged the world to declare the PM as a terrorist. “Netanyahu is responsible for atrocities committed by Israeli forces in Palestine, and we consider him a terrorist and demand the world community declare Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu a terrorist,” it said.
