NEW: Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is facing a major political test with Washington pressing Islamabad to contribute troops to the U.S.-backed Gaza “stabilisation force” under President Donald Trump’s plan, Reuters reports. Munir is expected to visit Washington soon for talks with Trump, amid renewed U.S.–Pakistan ties after years of mistrust. Analysts say refusing could anger Trump and jeopardize U.S. investment and security aid, while deploying troops risks fierce domestic backlash in a strongly pro-Palestinian country. Now wielding unprecedented, constitutionally protected power after being appointed overall defense chief and granted lifetime immunity, Munir has consulted widely in recent weeks with Muslim-majority states also considering contributing to the force. But, Reuters says a Gaza deployment could trigger protests by Islamist groups and opposition supporters, potentially destabilizing the country.
