Global headlines are buzzing as Pakistan confirms its participation in President Donald Trump’s ambitious ‘Board of Peace’ initiative for Gaza’s future. The Foreign Ministry’s Wednesday bulletin, as per Dawn reports, accepts the U.S. overture to aid in conflict resolution and massive reconstruction.
Trump’s administration approached world leaders last week, pitching the board to handle post-war oversight under UNSC 2803. Pakistan, responding to a direct invite to PM Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, cited its dedication to the Gaza peace blueprint.
The official release detailed hopes for unbreakable ceasefires, escalated humanitarian support, and accelerated rebuilds. It further advocated a timeline-driven process for Palestinian self-determination, rooted in UN legitimacy, with Pakistan ready to contribute meaningfully.
Reuters’ scoop on the draft charter to 60 countries highlights the steep $1 billion price for prolonged membership. Pakistan joins frontrunners Hungary, Israel, and UAE in swift, unconditional endorsement.
This bold step reflects Pakistan’s evolving geopolitics, balancing solidarity with Palestinians against opportunities in U.S.-backed ventures. Domestically, it sparks debate on national interests versus ideological purity.
With stakes high, the board could redefine alliances, funnel billions into Gaza, and position Pakistan as a peace broker. Observers anticipate Islamabad’s input will prioritize equitable aid distribution and inclusive governance, setting precedents for future interventions.
