New Delhi, Feb 6: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s former wife Reham Khan reportedly left Pakistan, citing threats to her life, on Sunday. Talking to Pakistan’s Geo News channel, Reham alleged that she had been receiving threats through phone calls made to her staff and decided to leave Pakistan.

“My staff was receiving threats since last September but now these have increased, so I’ve decided to leave Pakistan,” Reham told Geo News. She also shared an audio clip in which the coordinator of Reham Khan Foundation informs her how he was threatened to not coordinate her interviews and events.

She claimed that she had to pull her daughter out of school due to the threats and it had left her extremely distressed. She also alleged that no political party in Pakistan was ready to help or support her. She added that she had been receiving threats since September 2017 but the frequency of such calls had increased in the last few weeks, forcing her to leave Pakistan.

According to Reham, several former Pakistani cricketers, too, had called her asking her to forget Imran Khan and not oppose him. But there is no confirmation if Reham had filed any police complaint. She, however, told Geo News that she neither needed anyone to stand by her nor was she afraid of the threats.

Cut all ties with Israel and impose arms, trade embargo; history will record our action: Iran to Muslim countries

News Network

May 5,2024

Iran has urged Muslim countries to cut all relations with the Israeli regime as means of pressuring Tel Aviv to end its ongoing genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks on Saturday, addressing the 15th Heads of State and Government Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Gambia’s capital Banjul.

“Beyond doubt, this time period will also pass by, despite all its hardships and adversities for the Palestinian nation,” he said.

“However, the manner and quality of the role that is played by us, Muslim states, in the face of this crisis will go down in history,” the top diplomat added.

“Undoubtedly, severance of diplomatic and economic ties and [imposition of] practical arms and trade embargo [on Israel] serves as an important means of cessation of its genocide in Gaza and atrocities in the West Bank and the Noble al-Quds.”

At least 34,654 people have died in Gaza since October 7, when the Israeli regime began the war in response to al-Aqsa Storm, a retaliatory operation by the coastal sliver’s resistance groups.

Despite the unabated campaign of bloodshed and destruction, the regime has so far fallen short of realizing its goals, including defeating Gaza’s resistance, causing forced displacement of the territory’s entire population to neighboring Egypt, and enabling the release of those who were taken captive during al-Aqsa Storm.

Amir-Abdollahian said Gaza’s developments proved that elimination of the Palestinian resistance “was nothing but an illusion.”

“Because the Israeli regime is not a legitimate government. It is only an occupying apartheid power,” he said, adding, “Passage of time is not going to lend legitimacy to an occupying power.”

The foreign minister asserted that realization of sustainable peace and security in the region was only possible through cessation of the regime’s occupation of Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, return of the Palestinian refugees to their homeland, and manifestation of Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
