Israel Rejects Pakistan Army Role in Gaza Force, Cites Hamas Links

  • Israel firmly rejected Pakistan Army's involvement in a proposed International Stabilisation Force (ISF) for Gaza.
  • Ambassador Reuven Azar cited concerns over alleged links between Hamas and Pakistan-based terror groups.
  • Israel insists on the complete dismantling of Hamas before any political or reconstruction process can begin in Gaza.
  • Many countries are reluctant to participate in the ISF because they do not want to fight Hamas, making the force ineffective.
  • Israel's immediate priorities are hostage retrieval and destruction of Hamas's military and political infrastructure.

Why It Matters: Israel opposes Pakistan Army's role in Gaza stabilization, demanding Hamas's complete dismantling first.
