PTI leader Ali Zafar has called out the alleged hypocrisy of the federal government’s offers for conciliation while drawing comparisons between the government and Israel.

“You should remember what Israel does […] They call the Palestinians and tell them that they will help them […] and as they gather for help, they bomb them,” Zafar said while speaking to Geo News TV.

He said the federal government said it wanted to reconcile, talk about democracy and strengthen the economy but did not stop the political victimisation of PTI workers.
