Pakistan's Senate has unleashed sharp criticism against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal for a "Hexagon of Alliances" involving India, labeling it a dangerous plot against the global Muslim community, or Ummah. In a unanimous resolution passed yesterday, senators condemned the plan as an attempt to forge an "anti-Muslim bloc" aimed at dividing Islamic nations and undermining solidarity. The move comes amid Netanyahu's vision to unite Israel, India, and select partners against what he describes as radical forces in the Middle East, including Iran's proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Led by a prominent PPP figure in PM Shehbaz Sharif's coalition, the resolution warns that the alliance threatens regional stability and Palestinian rights. It specifically denounces any alterations to occupied territories and rallies support for the Ummah's unity. Pakistan's reaction underscores longstanding tensions: India's deepening defense ties with Israel—think drones, intelligence sharing, and joint tech ventures—have long irked Islamabad, which champions the Palestinian cause.

Speaking recently, Netanyahu framed the hexagon as a pragmatic counter to a "radical Shia axis" and lingering Sunni extremists. Including India signals a shift, bypassing traditional Arab foes and leveraging New Delhi's counter-terror expertise against shared threats from Pakistan-based groups. This echoes successes like the Abraham Accords, which normalized Israel-Arab ties. For India, it's a boost to its global standing, much like the Quad framework in the Indo-Pacific.

Pakistan's outcry amplifies on state media and social platforms, painting India as an enabler of division. With economic pressures and Afghan complexities at home, Islamabad risks further isolation from emerging Middle East realignments. Analysts see this as a flashpoint testing old rivalries in a multipolar era. As diplomatic exchanges heat up—potentially at the UN—eyes are on whether the hexagon gains momentum or fizzles amid backlash.
