(Daily Times-Pakistan) Jahanzaib Ali - In an interview with Pakistan's Daily Times at the Embassy of Israel in Washington, Ambassador Ron Dermer offered a hand of friendship to Pakistan. Dermer visited Pakistan in the mid-90s; at the time he was a U.S. citizen. He said when he was at Oxford his closest friend was a Pakistani student who hosted him in Pakistan. "It was a memorable time that I had there and I appreciate very much his friendship. He introduced me to his friends who were also wonderful people. So I think with the people-to-people relationship between Pakistanis and Israelis, between Muslims and Jews, we can solve all the problems. We should have more contacts, not less." "I do not see any reason why a country like Pakistan could not have better relations with Israel. Many Muslim countries have good relations with Israel now and they all are getting great benefits....We are right there in the center of the region. Why not benefit from this cooperation with Israel?"
