Pakistan has refused to confirm reports of sending military troops to Gaza, citing its commitment to a peace mandate. In a press conference in Islamabad, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated that Pakistan can only send troops to Gaza if it has a clear mandate for peace, but not to disarm Hamas or destroy its tunnels, as this would be akin to Muslims fighting each other.
Dar acknowledged reports of Pakistan sending around 20,000 troops to Gaza, but emphasized that no final decision has been made. He stated that there is complete coordination and agreement between the civilian and military leadership on the matter, with a clear understanding that Pakistan will not participate in any kind of military operation.
Pakistan’s commitment to peace, Dar said, is the cornerstone of its policy, and it will only provide humanitarian aid and assistance to the people of Gaza, as well as participate in a UN-led peace mission. However, disarming Hamas or destroying its tunnels would be outside of Pakistan’s mandate, as this would be seen as Muslims fighting Muslims.
The statement comes as tensions rise in the Middle East, with reports of clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in Gaza. Pakistan’s stance has been welcomed by many, who see it as a principled and pragmatic approach to the conflict.
