How Gaza trap will make Munir realise the cost of American lunch

Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir faces mounting pressure from the United States to deploy troops in Gaza under President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan, a move tied to military aid, IMF support, and major financial incentives. While Pakistan’s government has publicly denied any decision, signals from Washington suggest expectations are firm. Deployment would likely involve disarming Hamas, risking prolonged conflict and domestic backlash in Pakistan, where opposition to Israel runs deep. Munir must balance US demands with internal security challenges, fragile regional ties with China, Iran, and Afghanistan, and the risk of political unrest and military dissent at home.
