Israeli Media Claims Pakistani Troops May Join International Force in Gaza

Tel Aviv: An Israeli newspaper has claimed that **Pakistani military personnel could be part of an international force** expected to be deployed in Gaza to help stabilize the region after two years of conflict.

According to *The Times of Israel*, Israeli defense officials informed lawmakers that the proposed multinational force — aimed at restoring order in Gaza — might include **troops from Pakistan, Indonesia, and Azerbaijan**.

The Israeli news outlet *Ynet News* reported that during a **closed-door briefing** to the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee last week, officials revealed the potential participation of these three countries.

The report added that **Indonesia has already offered** to contribute troops to the mission, while **Azerbaijan has expressed its willingness** to do so.
