ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): A post circulating on the social media platform X claiming that Pakistan is joining the US-proposed International Stabilisation Force (ISF) for deployment in Gaza alongside Israel is false.
The user, who is a journalist, claimed that with the recent signing of the charter of the Board of Peace, Pakistan has agreed to send soldiers for the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) to work in close consultation and cooperation with Israel.
“According to the signed document, Pakistani soldiers will be working in close consultation and cooperation with Israel. So Pakistan has not only recognized Israel but has also agreed to work under Netanyahu,” it wrote.

The journalist also shared a screenshot from a document, which he believes is from the ‘Board of Peace’ charter, which says that “authorizes Member States working with the BoP and the BoP to establish a temporary International Stabil ion Force (ISF) in Gaza to deploy under unified command acceptable to the BoP, with forces contributed by participating States, in close consultation and cooperation with the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Israel.”
However, these claims are found to be completely baseless as the document he is referring to turned out to be the old, dated November 17, 2025, from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
Fact Check
The recent charter of the Board of Peace, signed by Pakistan, does not require Pakistan or any member state to send troops or engage in combat in Gaza.
Membership is voluntary, and participation in specific missions only happens with each member’s consent.
According to Article 2.2(b) of the charter, member states must “support and assist with Board of Peace operations consistent with their respective domestic legal authorities,” but “nothing in this Charter shall be construed to… require Member States to participate in a particular peace-building mission, without their consent.”
This means Pakistan can contribute in different ways, such as financial aid, logistical support, or diplomatic input, without any mandatory military involvement.
Earlier in a statement, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has also stressed that its role on the board is focused on supporting a permanent ceasefire and reconstruction in Gaza under UN Security Council Resolution 2803, without sending troops.
Pakistan has expressed hope that the new framework will lead to a permanent ceasefire and an increased humanitarian aid for Palestinians and the reconstruction of Gaza.
