^ from what i have seen they defiantly do not have (Arab) saudi, yemeni etc... ancestory. But bare in mind not all tribes have been tested, but I am assuming most tribes wont show any relation to Arabia.
Now we do have to know what dna did ancient Israelite carry, If they were from the Levant region, They would have certian amounts west eurasian in them since Levant is northern part of middle east. However Levant region also carries south western Arab dna, which pashtuns lack
So my personal conclusion is no, the connection to Semitic people doesn't seem to be true, at least on the dna level so far.
Pashtuns seem much closer to Caucasus/Caspian region and native south asians populations compared with Semitic people
