Islamabad categorically rejected a claim by a Brazilian journalist that Israel's Mossad planned to assassinate Pakistani army chief General Asim Munir during his visit to Switzerland, calling it "baseless and entirely illogical." The denials were reported by Middle East-focused the source 301.
The Pakistani government bluntly dismissed an unverified allegation that Israel's Mossad plotted to assassinate the country's army chief, General Asim Munir, during his official visit to Switzerland. The claim, attributed to a Brazilian journalist, was characterized by Pakistani officials as "baseless and entirely illogical." The denial was circulated via the source 301, which focuses on Arab-world news. The episode follows broader regional tensions, as earlier this month Pakistan's state television announced the cancellation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's own planned visit to Switzerland without explanation — a move that was noted in regional media but not linked to any security incident. As The Zioneer reported on June 18, that cancellation was reported without an official reason. There is no corroborating evidence for the assassination allegation from Israeli, Swiss, or Pakistani official sources.
