Washington D.C. — A significant session of the Gaza Board of Peace is underway in Washington D.C. under the chairmanship of US President Donald Trump, with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif among the participating leaders. However, the meeting has drawn attention for a glaring absence — China, Russia, the United Kingdom, and other permanent members of the UN Security Council are not in attendance.
According to sources, President Trump is expected to announce the total funds raised for Gaza’s reconstruction during the session, alongside a landmark declaration establishing an International Stabilization Force tasked with restoring peace and order in the war-ravaged territory.
The absence of key global powers has raised serious questions in diplomatic circles about the meeting’s scope and long-term effectiveness. Analysts warn that any peace framework for Gaza that excludes permanent Security Council members risks lacking the international legitimacy and enforcement mechanisms needed for sustainable outcomes.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s participation underscores Pakistan’s unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian cause and its active engagement in international efforts to bring lasting peace to the region.
The outcomes of the session are being closely watched by the international community, with the world hoping that concrete steps toward Gaza’s reconstruction and long-term stability will emerge from today’s deliberations.
