Pakistan has repeatedly told global forums that it is ready to play a “constructive role” in peace efforts linked to Palestine. However, officials have made clear that this support does not include military involvement.

Last month, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Pakistan’s civil and military leadership is united on not sending troops to Gaza to disarm Hamas.
Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace” for post-war Gaza began forming over the weekend. Leaders from Egypt, Turkey, Argentina and Canada were also invited to join the panel.
Earlier, Trump named US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and senior negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff as members. Hence, Trump has declared himself the chair of the board.
