STORYLINE:

Pakistani protesters took to the streets of Karachi on Sunday to condemn the first formal talks between Pakistan and Israel which took place in Turkey last week

Around 100 supporters of the Amima Students organisation gathered to chant slogans and burn US and Israeli flags.

Pakistan''s President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said on Saturday that official recognition of Israel will occur only after a Palestinian state is created.

The announcement came after Pakistani Foreign Minister Khursheed Kasuri held landmark talks with his Israeli counterpart Silvan Shalom on Thursday in Istanbul following the pullout of Israeli forces from Gaza.

Pakistan and Israel don''t have diplomatic ties.

Islamabad has said Israel must abandon all other territory it captured in the 1967 Mideast war, and clear the way for an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital.
