Pakistan Joins Trump Board of Peace: A High-Stakes Gamble Between Ally and Public
Pakistan officially joins President Trump's 'Board of Peace' in Davos, aiming for closer US ties while risking a massive domestic backlash over Gaza policy.
It's a classic diplomatic tightrope walk. Pakistan has officially joined the U.S.-led Board of Peace, an initiative spearheaded by President Donald Trump to tackle global conflicts, including the Gaza crisis.
Pakistan Join Trump Board of Peace to Secure US Ties
According to Reuters, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif signed the signed charter on January 22, 2026, during the World Economic Forum in Davos. The move aims to cement Islamabad's relationship with the new administration, especially as Pakistan seeks economic stability and a counterweight to regional rivals.
Domestic Backlash and Palestine Sentiment
The decision isn't without its critics. Pro-Palestine sentiment runs deep in Pakistan, and the government's alignment with a U.S. initiative on Gaza is already sparking outrage. Observers warn that if public anger boils over, it could destabilize the current coalition government, which is already struggling with a 50% drop in approval ratings regarding foreign policy.
