Pakistan rejects Indian media claim about ‘$10,000 per soldier’ Gaza mission demand

Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MoIB) has firmly rejected a claim by Indian media alleging that Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir demanded $10,000 per soldier from Israel for participation in a US-backed Gaza peacekeeping mission. The ministry described the story as “baseless propaganda” lacking any official confirmation.

The claim was originally published by the Indian digital outlet Firstpost on November 6, 2025, citing unnamed “sources” and a report by News18, which alleged secret meetings between Pakistani, Israeli (Mossad), and US (CIA) officials. The story falsely claimed that Pakistan had agreed to deploy thousands of troops to Gaza under the deal.

However, Pakistani officials have found no evidence to support these fabrications. The MoIB’s Fact Check Cell stated that neither Pakistan, Israel, nor the United States has confirmed any such meetings or discussions.

Furthermore, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of Pakistan have not issued any statements regarding troop deployment or any verbal exchange with Israeli or American intelligence agencies.

Independent fact-checking outlets have also categorized the narrative as part of a broader disinformation trend emanating from India. For instance, D-Intent Data earlier debunked viral videos falsely showing General Munir visiting the Line of Control (LoC), underscoring the frequency of fabricated claims.

Analysts believe the baseless report is part of a manufactured propaganda campaign aimed at misrepresenting Pakistan’s foreign policy stance and spreading confusion. Pakistani officials reiterated that any peacekeeping deployment would only occur through legitimate, multilateral channels such as the United Nations.

In short, what began as a sensational Indian media accusation against Pakistan’s military has now been officially dismissed by Pakistani authorities and independent sources. Experts urge the public to approach such explosive claims cautiously unless verified through credible, documented sources.
