Trump’s Peace Board: Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is facing the wrath of the country after he joined the Donald Trump’s Peace Board.
Several parties and political leaders in Pakistan have blasted the decision of Sharif to join the board of peace. Calling its morally questionable and poorly thought, political leaders said an important decision like this should have been taken only after having a word with other parties. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rebuked the move by Shehbaz Sharif saying thorough scrutiny by the Pakistani parliament must have been practiced before finalizing anything.

Trump’s Peace Board-A Big Mistake For Pakistan To Join
Babar Awan, the former law minister of Pakistan, said the Pakistani PM had made a grave mistake. Awan said the habit of “boot-polishing” by Sharif has caused great damage to the country. The former law minister added that sitting on the Board of Peace to please the United States President is treason against the cause of Palestine. Awan added that holding Benjamin Netanyahu unaccountable for his atrocities and war crimes is a defiance of the command of Quaid-e-Azam.
What Would Pakistan Do In Gaza?
Under the agreement, Sharif’s Pakistan would send its military force in Gaza and disarm Hamas. Interestingly, Pakistan has blasted Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu in the past for Gaza attacks.
Trump’s Peace Board would emphasize on issues such as reconstruction, governance, capacity-building, regional relations, capital mobilization and large-scale funding. The White House also disclosed the establishment of a Gaza Executive Board that would join hands with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) and the Office of the High Representative headed by Bulgarian diplomat Nickolay Mladenov.
It would be worth interest to find out whether the so-called Board Of Peace would do the world and Gaza any good as it looks more of a face-saver for the United States President.
