Pakistan Invited to Trump's Gaza Peace Board; US Initiative Aims for Stability

• Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif received an invitation from US President Donald Trump to join the proposed Board of Peace for Gaza.
• The Board of Peace is a new US-led initiative by Trump, described as an international body to promote stability, restore governance, and secure long-term peace in conflict-affected regions.
• Trump would serve as the board’s first chairman, with final say on membership and significant control over finances and agenda-setting.
• The board is part of a wider US-backed Gaza plan, including a Palestinian technocratic committee for day-to-day administration and focusing on demilitarisation, governance, and reconstruction.
• Concerns exist among some governments that the board could rival the United Nations, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised the plan for lack of coordination.
