Republic of United Balochistan has issued a strongly worded appeal to Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing Pakistan of fuelling regional instability and calling for international recognition of several separatist movements.
In a letter dated April 10, addressed to the Israeli Prime Minister’s office in Jerusalem, the group condemned what it described as Islamabad’s “persistent hostility” toward Israel, citing recent remarks by Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, who allegedly characterised Israel in highly derogatory terms.
The statement accuses Pakistan of aligning itself with Iran, claiming the two states are cooperating in intelligence and military activities and supporting armed groups across the region. It further alleges that Pakistani and Iranian forces are active in Baloch-populated areas, conducting operations that have “terrorised the local population”.
The letter also asserts that Pakistan has historically opposed Israel, referencing alleged involvement of Pakistani pilots in the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, and highlighting a 2016 incident in which Mr Asif appeared to issue a nuclear warning on social media following a false report.
In a broader geopolitical appeal, the group urged Israel to recognise not only Balochistan but also other contested regions, including Kurdistan, Ahwaz and Sindh, as independent states. It argued that such recognition would weaken পাকিস্তান’s influence and reshape strategic trade and energy routes across the Middle East and Arabian Sea.
The statement also claimed that an independent Balochistan would alter control of key տնտեսական and ռազմական corridors, including areas near the Strait of Hormuz, though such assertions remain speculative and highly contested.
Balochistan, a resource-rich region spanning parts of پاکستان, ایران and Afghanistan, has long been the site of separatist movements, particularly within Pakistan’s بلوچستان province. Islamabad has consistently rejected calls for independence, maintaining that the region is an integral part of the country.
