Pakistan says decision on joining Gaza peace force ‘still under process’

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said on Tuesday that a decision by the Islamic world on deploying Pakistani troops as part of a Gaza peace force was “still under process,” adding it would be a “matter of pride” for the country to play a role in protecting Palestinians. The clarification comes after a report published last week by the US-based news outlet Politico, which cited a current and a former US defense official saying that Pakistan, Indonesia and Azerbaijan were the leading contenders to contribute troops to the International Stabilization Force (ISF).
