Trump Demands 'Price' for White House Lunch, Puts Pakistan in Gaza Dilemma
- •Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir's White House lunch with Donald Trump now comes with a 'price' for Pakistan.
- •Trump invited Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif to join the 'Gaza Peace Board,' creating a diplomatic trap for Pakistan.
- •Joining the board could force Pakistan to send its army to Gaza, potentially clashing with Hamas and creating internal unrest.
- •Rejecting Trump's offer is difficult due to Pakistan's economic dependence on IMF and US aid.
- •The 'Gaza Peace Board' includes Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others, aiming to 'outsource' Gaza's post-war management to Muslim countries.
Why It Matters: Donald Trump's invitation to the 'Gaza Peace Board' has put Pakistan in a difficult diplomatic and military bind.
