Pakistan’s military chief Asim Munir may play a key role in the U.S. proposal to send troops to Gaza for peacekeeping. Experts say this decision could spark domestic unrest. Munir is expected to fly to Washington in the coming weeks to meet President Donald Trump, with the meeting focused on the Gaza force.
Trump’s plan calls for a force from Muslim countries. These forces aim to rebuild war-damaged areas and support economic stability. Many countries are cautious about the mission because it could draw them into conflict and cause public unrest.
Munir has developed close ties with Trump to reduce distrust between Islamabad and Washington. He recently had a private meeting at the White House, which is considered a unique experience for the Pakistani military leader. Experts note that Munir’s relationship with Trump is important for U.S. investment and assistance.
At the same time, sending troops could trigger public protests. Islamic parties and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan may criticize Munir. Experts warn that Pakistani troop involvement in Gaza could quickly cause social and political problems.
