Gaza Peace Board Inaugural Session Set for Next Week

Gaza Peace Board Inaugural Session Set for Next Week.webp


Islamabad, February 10 Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to attend the inaugural session of the Board of Peace for Gaza, which will be held next week in Washington.

The key meeting is scheduled for February 19 at the US Institute of Peace, a leading think-tank.

Diplomatic sources said that Prime Minister Sharif is expected to travel to the US on February 18 to attend the Board of Peace meeting.

Pakistan is among eight Muslim-majority nations, including Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the UAE, that are expected to attend the meeting.

The level of participation from other countries is not known.

Pakistan formally joined the Board of Peace last month during an event held on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, where President Donald Trump was present.

The first meeting of the board will focus on the reconstruction of Gaza. The summit will also formalize the board's mandate and structure.

It will also focus on the implementation of the ceasefire and Gaza's future governance.

Experts argue that Trump overseeing a board to supervise a foreign territory's affairs resembled a colonial structure.
