Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir have a vision of transforming Pakistan into the caliphate for Islamic countries. This aspiration is highlighted against the backdrop of the Israeli actions in Gaza. Pakistan condemned the Israeli actions on Gaza and sought to take a leadership role. At the Doha Islamic summit, the nation discussed the formation of a military alliance similar to NATO. Pakistan’s actions are seen as attempts to assert its influence on the global stage, particularly within the Islamic world. Pakistan’s stance on the Gaza conflict, combined with its military capabilities, positions it in a complex relationship with both the West and the Islamic nations. This is further complicated by the economic challenges and internal issues the country faces.
