The Information Ministry has categorically rejected reports alleging that Pakistan agreed to deploy troops to Gaza as part of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF). The ministry described the claims as “completely fabricated,” asserting that no such deal or understanding exists between Pakistan, the United States, or Israel.
The false reports had suggested that Pakistan was preparing to send up to 20,000 troops to Gaza following alleged secret meetings between Pakistan’s military leadership, the CIA, and Mossad. According to these claims, Pakistani forces would act as a buffer between Israel and Gaza’s remaining armed groups.
The Information Ministry dismissed the story as a “manufactured propaganda piece” designed to misrepresent Pakistan’s foreign policy and create distrust among Muslim nations.
Pakistan Maintains No Diplomatic or Military Ties with Israel
The ministry reaffirmed Pakistan’s long-standing position that it does not recognize Israel and has no diplomatic or military engagement with it. It emphasized that Pakistan’s policy remains firmly grounded in support of Palestinian self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Officials clarified that no credible domestic or international source has confirmed any plan for Pakistani troop deployment to Gaza. They added that neither the military nor the government has discussed or approved any such proposal.
Disinformation Campaign Condemned
Authorities highlighted that certain foreign media outlets have a history of publishing anti-Pakistan disinformation based on unverified intelligence sources. The Information Ministry urged the public to verify information before sharing it online, noting that the spread of false reports can harm Pakistan’s diplomatic relations and regional standing.
The ministry said the claim of a CIA–Mossad–Munir deal was deliberately fabricated to undermine Pakistan’s credibility in the Muslim world and create divisions at a sensitive geopolitical moment.
Gaza Peace Agreement and International Stabilisation Force
The alleged report falsely linked Pakistan’s supposed participation to the US-brokered Gaza Peace Agreement, which includes the establishment of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF). This force, composed mainly of troops from Muslim-majority countries, would help maintain internal security, assist humanitarian operations, and oversee reconstruction in Gaza.
While Pakistan is among the countries with strong credentials in international peacekeeping—having contributed to more than 40 UN missions globally—the government clarified that no decision or discussion has taken place regarding participation in Gaza.
Islamabad’s Foreign Policy and Moral Position
Officials in Islamabad reiterated that Pakistan’s stance on Palestine remains unchanged. The country has consistently called for an immediate ceasefire, the end of Israeli occupation, and the protection of Palestinian rights in accordance with international law.
Pakistan’s government stated that it will continue to support diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving lasting peace in the Middle East, but any decision related to peacekeeping will be made transparently, in line with national interests and international mandates.
Clarification on Pakistan–US Relations
While Islamabad’s ties with Washington have seen gradual improvement, officials stressed that bilateral cooperation does not include any military arrangement related to Gaza. The government reaffirmed that Pakistan’s participation in any international mission would require UN approval and broad political consensus.
The ministry concluded that Pakistan’s foreign policy decisions are based on sovereignty, regional stability, and moral responsibility, not on fabricated or externally driven agendas.
