Pakistan to Send Troops to Gaza for Peacekeeping
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar said that Pakistan is ready to send troops to Gaza as part of a peacekeeping mission.
However, Pakistan will not be involved in disarming Hamas, as that is the responsibility of Palestinian security institutions.
The deployment is being considered after regional consultations and would be under a clearly defined UN mandate.
Countries like Iran, Turkey, and Qatar might oppose this move, as they see it as aiding US-Israeli objectives.
Additionally, there are concerns about backlash from Islamist groups within Pakistan.
The UN Security Council has already approved a resolution for this mission, but Hamas has rejected it.
