Pakistan’s Information Ministry on Tuesday categorically rejected reports alleging secret meetings between Pakistani leadership, the CIA, and Israel’s Mossad, calling them “completely fabricated.” The ministry clarified that no agreement or discussion had taken place regarding sending Pakistani troops to Gaza as part of any peace force.
Indian outlets claimed Pakistan planned to deploy up to 20,000 troops under a US-brokered Gaza peace initiative following alleged meetings with Mossad and CIA officials. The report further alleged that Pakistani forces would neutralise Hamas elements and act as a buffer between Israel and Gaza’s armed factions.
The ministry dismissed these claims as “manufactured propaganda” designed to misrepresent Pakistan’s foreign policy and damage its image among Muslim nations. It reiterated that Pakistan does not recognise Israel, has no diplomatic or military engagement with it, and maintains a consistent stance in support of Palestinian self-determination.
Officials also clarified that any discussions regarding Pakistan’s participation in the proposed International Stabilisation Force (ISF) remain internal and preliminary. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif confirmed that the decision is still “in process” and will be finalised through proper institutional channels once a legal framework is defined.
The ISF, a central component of the Gaza Peace Agreement, is expected to include troops from Muslim-majority nations to stabilise post-conflict Gaza. While Pakistan is one of the largest contributors to UN peacekeeping missions, officials stressed that any deployment would require consensus, legality, and moral justification.
Separately, Pakistan condemned Israel’s renewed airstrikes on Gaza, calling them a “flagrant violation” of the US-brokered truce and international law. The Foreign Ministry reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering support for an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
