Defense officials reportedly told Israeli lawmakers that an international force that will help stabilize Gaza following the two-year war is likely to include troops from Pakistan.
According to a report in the Ynet news site, members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee were told during a closed-door briefing last week that the International Stabilization Force will be made up of soldiers from Indonesia, Azerbaijan and Pakistan.
Indonesia has publicly offered to send troops for the effort, and officials have told The Times of Israel that Azerbaijan had also agreed to contribute soldiers.
The potential presence of Pakistani soldiers had not yet been publicized.
