▪️ The “fuss” over Pakistan’s participation is built on a deliberate confusion:
Signing a multilateral framework is not the same thing as sending troops. Conflating BoP with an ISF deployment is either ignorance—or agenda.

▪️ Let’s be clear: BoP ≠ ISF.
BoP is a political/diplomatic forum. An ISF, if ever proposed, would be an operational military instrument with a separate mandate, separate approvals, and separate conditions.

▪️ Pakistan’s stance is categorical:
No Pakistani troops will be sent to Gaza under any ISF arrangement to “disarm Hamas.”
That line is not blurry, negotiable, or open to interpretation.

▪️ BoP does not “undermine” the UN—this claim doesn’t survive basic logic.
Multilateral forums exist precisely because diplomacy works through multiple channels, while the UN remains the legal and institutional anchor. Pakistan’s position remains: no bypassing, no sidelining, no replacing the UN.

▪️ Pakistan’s participation is driven by three non-negotiables, not optics:
– Humanitarian assistance must reach Palestinians without political blackmail
– Reconstruction must be possible without renewed Israeli aggression
– Safety and protection of Palestinians must be central—not an afterthought

▪️ Pakistan’s Palestine policy is not a trend—it is a state position with continuity:
Support for a contiguous, independent Palestinian state, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital. Full stop.

▪️ The argument “Israel is in the forum, so Pakistan shouldn’t be” is strategically childish.
Israel sits in the UN system too—does that mean Pakistan should exit the UN?
You don’t defend Palestine by vacating rooms; you defend Palestine by showing up, speaking, and shaping outcomes.

▪️ If Pakistan is absent, others will define the narrative, design the “solution,” and market it as consensus—while Palestinians pay the price. Presence is not endorsement; presence is leverage.
▪️ The UN Security Council approval (13–0) establishes that the Gaza Peace Plan and the Board of Peace carry formal international legal backing, not an ad-hoc or unilateral initiative.

▪️ Pakistan’s acceptance places it among a broad cross-regional coalition spanning Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, undermining claims that the BoP is a narrow Western construct.

▪️ The $1 billion contribution is voluntary and certainly not an obligation for operational or military participation, nor a determinant of political alignment.

▪️ Finally, this is not freelancing. It is a sovereign decision of the Government of Pakistan, formally validated through the Prime Minister’s signature. That’s the constitutional chain—everything else is noise.
