Bangladesh Joins Pakistan in Backing Trump's Gaza Stabilisation Force

  • Bangladesh's interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, has expressed interest in joining Donald Trump’s Internal Stabilisation Force (ISF) in Gaza.
  • This move mirrors Pakistan's earlier decision to participate in the force, which aims for reconstruction and economic recovery in Gaza.
  • National Security Adviser Khalilur Rahman met US officials in Washington, receiving a 'green signal' for troop deployment.
  • Bangladesh's offer is seen as a strategic move to gain US support and consolidate domestic political backing, especially from Jamaat-e-Islami.
  • The interim leadership seeks international legitimacy and US acceptance for a prolonged transition period ahead of national polls.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh signals willingness to join Trump's Gaza force, seeking US support and domestic political consolidation.
