Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli told Israel's 103 FM on Wednesday that the emerging "Türkiye-Qatar-Pakistan axis" poses a strategic concern for Tel Aviv, claiming the three nations helped shape the US-Iran framework agreement amid criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's exclusion from the negotiations.

Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli warned on Wednesday that the formation of a "Türkiye-Qatar-Pakistan axis" represents a growing strategic concern for Tel Aviv, accusing the three nations of influencing the recently brokered US-Iran agreement. Speaking to Israel's 103 FM radio, Chikli stated that the emerging alliance had helped shape the framework deal announced earlier this week.

"The Türkiye-Qatar-Pakistan axis is worrying," Chikli said, adding that "The emerging agreement is concerning, and the least of my concerns is the rehabilitation of the Iranian economy." His remarks reflect mounting anxiety within the Israeli government over the shifting diplomatic landscape and the potential economic rehabilitation of Tehran.

Netanyahu excluded from talks

The comments come as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces sharp criticism from opposition figures who accuse him of diplomatic failure, noting that US President Donald Trump effectively excluded Israel from the negotiations aimed at ending the war with Iran. Washington and Tehran reached a temporary truce on April 8 through Pakistani mediation.

Opposition to accord

Israeli government ministers have publicly expressed their opposition to the emerging agreement ahead of the planned signing ceremony in Switzerland on Friday. There was no immediate response from officials in Ankara, Doha, or Islamabad regarding the Israeli minister's remarks about the three nations' cooperation.
