Pakistan faced a stinging double humiliation at the World Economic Forum in Davos after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s rushed signing of US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” charter. Within hours of joining the Gaza peace initiative, Israel’s Economy Minister Nir Barkat publicly rejected Pakistan’s participation, branding Islamabad a “terror backer” unfit for any role in Gaza’s transition or peacekeeping. The rebuke came as Sharif also faced fierce domestic backlash, with jailed former PM Imran Khan’s party demanding a national referendum and opposition leaders calling the move “morally incorrect and indefensible.” Pakistan faced a stinging double humiliation at the World Economic Forum in Davos after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s rushed signing of US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” charter.
