Pakistan Offered Troops For Gaza Stabilisation Force, Rubio Confirms
Marco Rubio confirmed Pakistan's tentative offer to join a multinational force aimed at stabilizing Gaza as part of a US-backed 20-point peace plan.
- Dec 19, 2025 — US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed Pakistan has offered or offered to consider sending troops to the International Stabilisation Force under President Donald Trump's 20-point plan.
- On November 17 the United Nations Security Council authorised the ISF, but US outreach to over 70 countries and CENTCOM's Doha talks yielded no firm troop commitments.
- Operational planners note Gaza is bifurcated into a 'red zone' and a 'green zone' , while force estimates range from 6,000 to 20,000 with a 10,000 troop recruitment goal.
- Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi said Islamabad has not decided to join the ISF, and the White House said no meeting between President Donald Trump and Field Marshal Asim Munir was scheduled.
- The US has already established the CMCC with 200 assigned US forces, including Lieutenant General Patrick Frank, and appointing a two-star ISF commander could expand US ISR, logistics, and manpower needs.
