Pakistan Foils Trump's Gaza Peace Plan by Hosting Hamas Commander

• US President Donald Trump sought an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) for Gaza, asking Muslim nations including Pakistan to contribute.
• Pakistan invited Hamas leader Khaled Mashal's special representative, Naji Zaheer, to a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror camp in Gujranwala.
• Zaheer met with LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammed operatives, and attended pro-Palestine rallies, signaling Pakistan's support for Hamas.
• Israel rejected Pakistan Army's involvement in the Gaza peacekeeping force due to its ties with Hamas and Pakistan-based terror groups.
• This move allowed Pakistan to avoid sending troops to Gaza, despite earlier considerations by Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.

Why It Matters: Pakistan strategically avoided contributing to a Gaza peacekeeping force by publicly aligning with Hamas, leading to Israel's rejection.
