Former human rights minister Shireen Mazari has called US President Joe Biden’s policy to support Israel in the current escalation as “toxic, brutal and murderous”.

In a post on X, she said, “You (Biden) are supporting Palestine genocide and abetting a rogue Zionist entity Israel commit war crimes with impunity including in neighbouring Muslim states.”

“Maybe its time to learn that peace and respect of the other is what succeeds — not brute force and war crimes alongside farcical commitment to ‘democracy’,” she added.

“Your Middle East agenda is toxic, brutal and murderous,” Mazari asserted.
