Pakistan has engaged in high-level talks with Turkey and Iran regarding President Trump’s Gaza peace plan and its next phase, which could involve a multinational stabilization force. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar held discussions with Turkish and Iranian officials to explore avenues for humanitarian relief, ceasefire maintenance, and longer-term regional stability under an international framework.
The diplomatic outreach follows comments by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who identified Pakistan as a potential contributor to a future international stabilization mission. Pakistani officials stressed that Islamabad would not participate in combat operations or disarm Palestinian groups, making it clear that any involvement would strictly follow a UN-mandated framework aimed at protecting civilians and providing humanitarian support.
During these engagements, Pakistan reaffirmed its consistent support for a two-state solution and Palestinian self-determination. The discussions also emphasized the importance of trade, connectivity, and people-to-people exchanges, reflecting Pakistan’s efforts to actively contribute to regional peace while maintaining its principled stance on Palestine.
