Pakistan agrees to join US-led “Board of Peace” on Gaza
According to a statement from the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, the country’s decision follows the invitation extended to Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif by President Trump. The statement said, “In response to the invitation extended to (Pakistani) Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif by the President of the United States, H.E. Donald J. Trump, Pakistan would like to announce its decision to join the Board of Peace (BoP) as part of its ongoing efforts to support the implementation of the Gaza Peace Plan under the framework of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803.”
The ministry added, “Pakistan expresses the hope that with the creation of this framework, concrete steps will be taken towards the implementation of a permanent ceasefire, further scaling up of humanitarian aid for the Palestinians, as well as reconstruction of Gaza.”
The White House had previously announced the formation of the Board of Peace alongside the approval of a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, one of four bodies tasked with managing the transitional phase in the enclave. The board’s creation coincided with the start of phase two of a ceasefire agreement that ended Israel’s war on Gaza, which has resulted in over 71,000 deaths and more than 171,000 injuries since October 2023.
In related news, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on US social media platform X that he received an invitation from Trump to “join as a Founding Member State and become a party to the Charter of the Board of Peace.” Other invited countries from the region include China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore.
