Asim Munir fears criticism as Trump pushes troops for Gaza plan. What it means for Pakistan?

A primary focus is the reported pressure on Pakistan's General Asim Munir regarding the deployment of Pakistani troops to Gaza, a situation reportedly driven by Donald Trump. Munir is slated for a third meeting with Trump in six months, underscoring the persistence of this demand.

However, Pakistan finds itself in a precarious position. The nation's military is reportedly suffering from severe resource shortages, a direct consequence of Pakistan's broader economic bankruptcy. Deploying troops to a conflict zone like Gaza is seen as highly challenging, with the Pakistan Army reportedly lacking the capacity for such an operation.

Further concerns include the potential for increased hostility with Arab nations and intensified domestic political pressure on the Shehbaz-Munir government. These factors create a complex dilemma for Pakistan as it weighs its options on the international stage.
