US EditionShehbaz Sharif joins 20 other nations at Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ debut meet while Europe stays away
Pakistan seeks strict limits on its troops' roles in the Gaza International Stabilization Force amid divided international support for Trump’s peace initiative.
- On Thursday, Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan, attended the inaugural Board of Peace meeting at the Donald J. Trump Institute for Peace with delegations from at least 20 countries present.
- Ahead of the meeting, a Pakistan close aide stressed that troops would only participate in a peace mission and not disarm Hamas, according to the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Several European delegations, including Italy, attended only as observers, while Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary, was the only major EU leader publicly embracing the initiative.
- The White House said member states are expected to announce $5 billion for Gaza reconstruction, and President Trump tweeted that more than $5 billion and thousands of personnel have pledged, calling himself 'Chairman for Life' of the board.
- Critics of the Board of Peace argue it bypasses the United Nations, António Costa, European Council President, expressed serious doubts about the charter, and the renamed institute plus Brussels skepticism strained diplomatic optics.
