Shehbaz Sharif Faces Backlash Over Trump's Gaza 'Board Of Peace'

  • Pakistan's decision to join Trump's proposed Gaza "Board of Peace" has sparked significant domestic backlash.
  • Opposition parties, particularly PTI, and Islamist groups question the non-transparent process and intent behind the move.
  • PTI argues the decision ignores the will of the Pakistani people and contradicts Palestinian wishes, diluting Pakistan's principled stance.
  • The government defends its participation as a humanitarian and diplomatic effort to secure a ceasefire and aid delivery.
  • Religious groups and clerics view the move as a betrayal of Islamic solidarity and support for Palestinian rights, fearing it legitimizes pro-Israel interests.

Why It Matters: Shehbaz Sharif's government faces intense domestic criticism for backing Trump's Gaza peace plan.
