"A new survey indicates nearly three-quarters of Pakistanis support deploying troops to the Gaza Strip as part of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF). The findings of the poll by Gallup Pakistan come as media reports suggested Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will attend the first formal meeting of United States President Donald Trump's Board of Peace (BoP) on February 19, a body Pakistan joined alongside several other Muslim-majority countries last month."
"The ISF was proposed along with Trump's BoP in September on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. They were part of a 20-point plan Trump proposed to try to end the war in Gaza. The plan began with a ceasefire that started in October. In later stages, the international peacekeeping force is to be created and deployed to provide security and oversight of the truce between Hamas and Israel in Gaza."
A Gallup Pakistan poll conducted January 15–February 3 surveyed 1,600 respondents via random telephone interviews, with a margin of error of ±2–3 percentage points at 95% confidence. The poll found nearly three-quarters of Pakistanis back deploying troops to the Gaza Strip as part of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF). Pakistan joined the United States' Board of Peace (BoP) alongside several Muslim-majority countries. The ISF and BoP were proposed within a 20-point plan beginning with a ceasefire and envisioning a later international peacekeeping force to provide security and oversight of the truce. The BoP charter does not explicitly mention Gaza, and permanent board membership requires a $1 billion three-year contribution while the UN limits the ISF mandate in Gaza until the end of 2027.
