US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has questioned Pakistan's credibility as a mediator in the ongoing Iran-US war, terming the country's role as "problematic."
Graham sought to know where Pakistan stands now after Defence Minister Khawaja Asif's remarks on the prospect of the country joining the Abraham Accords went viral.
Asif had said that accepting the Accords would mean going against Pakistan's "fundamental ideologies" and that Islamabad could not sit down with those whose word cannot be trusted.
Graham asked Pakistan to respond to US President Donald Trump's call to join the Accords, saying it was imperative for Pakistan to give an answer now.
The Abraham Accords aim to normalise diplomatic, economic, and security relations between Israel and several Arab nations.
Trump had urged Muslim-majority countries, including Pakistan, to join the Accords as part of a broader diplomatic effort to end the US-Iran conflict.
Pakistan has maintained its stance that the recognition of the state of Israel is contingent on the establishment of a viable Palestinian state.
