Pakistan’s Response
Pakistan has rejected the 20-point Gaza peace blueprint presented by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Foreign minister Ishaq Dar clarified that this plan does not represent the stance of Muslim countries.
Dar emphasized that the proposal is different from the draft submitted by Muslim nations during talks with Trump.
Key Concerns Raised by Pakistan
Israeli Withdrawal:
Muslim countries, including pakistan, demanded the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Trump’s plan, however, suggests only a partial withdrawal, linked to the release of hostages held by Hamas.
Deviation from Muslim Draft:
According to Dar, Trump’s 20-point document has major alterations from the Muslim countries’ draft.
The Pakistani Foreign Minister said that these changes weaken the original position agreed by Muslim nations.
Statement in Parliament
Ishaq Dar addressed the Pakistani parliament on the matter.
He reiterated:
“I have made it clear that the 20 points made public by trump do not match our proposal. Many changes have been made in it, which we had given in the draft.”
Dar’s statement underlined that pakistan cannot endorse a plan that ignores the collective Muslim consensus.
Broader Implications
Pakistan’s rejection reflects wider dissatisfaction among Muslim countries over Trump’s blueprint.
By stressing unity in the Muslim stance, pakistan highlighted:
The need for Israeli forces to vacate Gaza completely.
Ensuring Palestinian sovereignty and rights remain at the core of any peace plan.
Analysts suggest that this backtracking may strain U.S.-Pakistan relations, while also strengthening Pakistan’s credibility in the Muslim world.
Conclusion
Pakistan has drawn a clear line between the Muslim nations’ joint draft and Trump’s altered 20-point plan.
Ishaq Dar’s remarks make it evident that pakistan will not support proposals that dilute the Muslim world’s demands for Gaza.
