Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Pakistan’s leadership will decide whether to send troops to a proposed peacekeeping force for Palestine. He stressed that the country’s policy on Palestine remains unchanged.
Speaking at a press conference, Dar confirmed Pakistan supported Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, which calls for a ceasefire, hostage swaps, Hamas disarmament, and a transitional government. He clarified that ground operations in Palestine would mainly be managed by local forces, while Indonesia has already offered 20,000 personnel.
Dar emphasized Pakistan has no direct dealings with Israel, noting that all arrangements are through the United States. He also revealed that Pakistan, along with seven other nations, reached a “secret understanding” with Trump’s team for further consultations on Gaza.
Highlighting Pakistan’s active diplomacy at the UNGA, Dar said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met IMF officials, Arab leaders, and raised the issue of Palestine. Pakistan joined Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Turkiye in a joint statement calling for a Palestinian state on pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Sharif as its capital.
Dar reiterated Pakistan’s stance: Our policy on Palestine is absolutely clear and unchanged.
