Munir's "Magic": Why Pakistan Stays Silent on Gaza Troop Deployment

  • General Asim Munir's consolidated power and lifelong immunity enable risky decisions like potential Gaza troop deployment.
  • Despite Pakistan's history of large pro-Palestinian protests, there's surprising public silence on sending troops to Gaza.
  • The US proposed an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) for Gaza, authorized by UN Resolution 2803, which Pakistan is considering.
  • Government actions against groups like Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), including detentions and travel bans, have curbed potential street protests.
  • Pakistan is gaining international allies and investments, possibly linked to its cooperation on the Gaza plan.

Why It Matters: General Munir's influence and suppression of dissent explain Pakistan's unusual silence on potential Gaza troop deployment.
