Pakistan has accepted US President Donald Trump’s invitation to join the Gaza Peace Board. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has confirmed this on Wednesday (21 January 2026). To bring permanent peace between Israel and Palestine, America invited leaders of different countries to join the ‘Gaza Board of Peace’, in which India’s PM Narendra Modi is also included.
Pakistan will join Trump’s ‘Gaza Peace Board’
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry said, ‘Pakistan announces its intention to join the Peace Board in response to the invitation extended by United States President Donald Trump to Shehbaz Sharif.’ The statement further said that Pakistan hopes that this will implement a permanent ceasefire and humanitarian aid will reach the Palestinians. Also, concrete steps will be taken towards the reconstruction of Gaza.
What did the Pakistani Foreign Ministry say?
According to the report of Pakistani newspaper Dawn, the statement said, ‘Pakistan also hopes that these efforts of Trump will give the people of Palestine the right to self-determination. This can be possible only through a political process, which will be in accordance with United Nations resolutions. This would result in the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestine based on pre-1967 borders. Pakistan is ready to play its role in ending the suffering of Palestinian brothers and sisters.
UN welcomed America’s step
The United Nations has welcomed the beginning of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire announced by the US. Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, said the UN considers any step that alleviates civilian suffering and helps recovery as a positive initiative.
At present the situation in Gaza is such that about 8 lakh people are forced to live in areas at serious risk of floods. The United Nations Aid Coordination Agency (OCHA) reported that about 40 percent of the total population, or about 8 lakh people, are now living in areas that are at risk of flooding and where, due to winter storms and heavy rains, their shelters have become uninhabitable. Also, more than 60 residential buildings in Gaza City are in danger of collapse.
