Hafiz Naeen rejects the government’s decision to join ‘Board of Peace’

Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, condemned on Wednesday the government’s plan to join the US-initiated ‘Board of Peace’.

In a statement uploaded on the social media network ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman asserted that US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is a new version of the colonial system.

He claimed that the Board of Peace comprises criminals like Tony Blair, who was responsible for the destruction of Iraq. He believed that the Board of Peace was a new structure designed to occupy Palestinian resources and territory.

He stated that American domination over Gaza in the name of reconstruction is undesirable, and that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ claim that Pakistan proclaimed support for the Gaza peace plan under a UN Security Council resolution contradicts the realities.

According to Hafiz Naeem, Trump has claimed that his Board of Peace might eventually replace the United Nations. What justifies Pakistan’s membership in the Board of Peace in light of the US President’s statement? He stated unequivocally that Pakistan’s army should not go to Gaza.
