Pakistan Senate Unanimously Condemns Netanyahu’s Vision of a New Geopolitical Axis

The Senate of Pakistan has passed a scathing, unanimous resolution condemning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent proposal to form a “hexagon of alliances” involving India to counter Muslim nations. The resolution, moved by PPP Senator Palwasha Mohammad Zai Khan, warns that such a strategic doctrine poses a direct threat to regional stability and the unity of the Muslim Ummah.

The “Hexagon” Doctrine: Netanyahu’s Vision

During a cabinet meeting on Sunday, February 22, Netanyahu unveiled a new strategic architecture designed to reshape the Middle East:

• The Alliance: The proposed “hexagon” includes Israel, India, Greece, and Cyprus, along with “unnamed Arab, African, and Asian countries.”

• The Target: Netanyahu explicitly framed the bloc as a counterweight to “radical axes,” specifically naming both the “radical Shia axis” (led by Iran) and an “emerging radical Sunni axis.”

• Strategic Timing: The announcement comes on the eve of Indian PM Narendra Modi’s state visit to Israel (February 25–26), where he is expected to address the Knesset and formalize high-tech, AI, and security cooperation.

The Senate’s Rebuttal: Defending Sovereignty

The Pakistani Senate took strong exception to what it termed the “vile proclivity” of the Israeli leadership to sow division among Islamic countries.

• Rejecting the Somaliland Precedent: The resolution reiterated Pakistan’s rejection of Israel’s December 26, 2025, recognition of Somaliland. Pakistan and 20 other nations view this as a “flagrant violation of Somalia’s sovereignty” and a dangerous precedent for international borders.

• Condemning Gaza Violations: Senators condemned Israel’s continued disregard for the ICJ’s Advisory Opinion and ongoing ceasefire violations in Gaza, calling for an immediate end to “Israeli impunity.”

• The “Islamic NATO”: Analysts note that Netanyahu’s “Hexagon” is a direct response to the Saudi-Pakistan Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (the so-called “Islamic NATO”) signed in September 2025, which Turkey has also expressed interest in joining.

The Road to Al-Quds

The House reaffirmed its “unwavering support” for a contiguous State of Palestine based on pre-1967 borders.

• Status of Holy Sites: The resolution rejected any Israeli attempt to change the historical status of the Occupied West Bank or the holy sites in Al-Quds Al-Sharif (Jerusalem).

• Call for Accountability: The Senate urged the UN and the international community to hold the “occupying power” accountable for crimes against humanity and to initiate the recovery and reconstruction of Gaza through UNRWA.
