Almost a month has passed since the story developed of an Israeli plane secretly landing in Pakistan. The government, since day one, has been denying the news, which now seems to be nothing short of a fact.
The news emerged right about the time when Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made a surprise visit to Oman. After a plethora of denials, witnesses have informed the MEE (Middle East Eye), that the plane did land in Rawalpindi indeed.
As per the MEE, a pilot who spoke on the clause of anonymity said that Bizjet flight was next to him in the air on 24th October before it landed at the Noor Khan Military Airbase in Rawalpindi.
Three members, who work at the airbase, also confirmed that they had seen a car pick up a delegation that arrived in the plane. A couple of hours later, the car returned to drop the delegation before they took off from the military base again. With Israel having no diplomatic relations with Pakistan, the question is, who was in the plane and what were they doing in the country?
The details of the event were revealed by an Israeli journalist named Avi Scharf.

As per the MEE, “The government quickly put a damper on the reports. Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority denied that an Israeli jet had landed in the capital. At a workers convention, Pakistan’s information minister Fawad Chaudhry described Scharf’s tweet as propaganda.
He later told MEE: “Look, there was no Israeli jet. There was only a UAE plane. That plane was theirs.” Chaudry appeared to be referring to an Emirati delegation that visited Islamabad on 26 October – a day after Scharf tweeted. “
Now it is not a hidden fact that Israel and the Prime Minister have started an agenda to befriend Muslim states, in order to create a new alliance between them and other Muslim countries. The Israeli PM had visited Oman and UAE, just before the controversy of entering Pakistan began.
Taking a look at the Pakistani passport – almost every country in the world is available for Pakistanis to travel to, but the mighty Asian nation has no diplomatic and/or other relations with Israel, mainly over their conquering of Palestinian territory and genocide.
With witnesses now emerging from within Pakistan stating that a plane did actually land at a military base for a few hours, raises so many hot-debating questions on the incumbent government and Pakistan’s security forces. Questions that only these authorities can answer.
