Pakistan has denied sending troops to Gaza, according to a statement made by the country’s Foreign Minister, Hina Rabbani Khar, while addressing a press conference in Islamabad. The move comes amidst increasing tensions between Israel and Hamas, with reports suggesting that Pakistan had dispatched over 3,000 troops to the region. However, Khar clarified that the country has not made any final decision on sending troops to Gaza.
Pakistan’s stance is clear: the country will only participate in peace-building efforts, under the auspices of the United Nations, and will not engage in any military operations that could be seen as supporting one Muslim group against another. Khar emphasized that Pakistan will not take sides in the conflict and will instead focus on providing humanitarian aid and support to those affected by the violence.
