🇵🇰/🇺🇸 - 'US credibility on the line’ ahead of Islamabad talks: Ex-Pakistan ambassador.

Continuing her remarks to Al Jazeera, former Pakistani Ambassador to the United Nations, Maleeha Lodhi, said the onus is on the US and Trump “to ensure that Israel doesn’t sabotage” the upcoming talks in Islamabad.

“It’s not Pakistan’s credibility that’s on the line. It’s America’s credibility that’s on the line, because it’s the Americans who assured us this ceasefire will hold, and that there would be nothing done provocatively to derail the ceasefire or derail the talks,” said Lodhi.

"This is not entirely in Pakistan’s control,” she added. “Pakistan after all is not a party [to the conflict], it’s an interlocutor, it’s a mediator… but it’s up to the two principal parties to now figure out how the talks go ahead."
