Pakistan's Munir in US: Gaza Force Dilemma Amidst Domestic Turmoil

• Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir visits the US amidst severe domestic unrest, including militant attacks, strained relations, and public protests.
• Munir faces pressure from the US to deploy Pakistani troops as a stabilization force in Gaza, a move conflicting with Pakistan's Palestine policy.
• The US request is part of Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, which proposes Muslim country armies for reconstruction, but many nations are hesitant.
• Munir's close ties with Trump make refusal difficult, risking vital US economic and security aid for Pakistan.
• Sending troops to Gaza could ignite widespread protests from anti-US, anti-Israel Islamic parties and accuse Munir of serving Israeli interests, despite his unprecedented power.

Why It Matters: Asim Munir faces a critical choice in the US: risk domestic backlash by sending troops to Gaza or anger Trump and jeopardize aid.
