On Saturday, Pakistan announced it would recommend U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in resolving a recent conflict between India and Pakistan. Analysts suggest this gesture may influence Trump’s stance on potential military actions against Iran, especially as Pakistan has condemned Israel’s operations as destabilizing. The conflict, which involved nuclear-armed nations India and Pakistan, saw a sudden ceasefire announced by Trump, who claimed credit for averting a nuclear war and saving lives, although India disputes this, asserting it was a bilateral agreement.
Pakistan praised Trump for “great strategic foresight” and his diplomatic involvement that helped de-escalate tensions. However, there was no immediate response from Washington, and Indian officials did not comment. Trump has expressed willingness to mediate in the ongoing Kashmir dispute, a stance welcomed by Islamabad but which alters U.S. policy that historically favored India as a counterbalance to China, raising questions about his relations with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Despite these diplomatic overtures, Trump’s support for Israel has sparked criticism in Pakistan. Prominent political figures are divided on the nomination; while some believe it could benefit Pakistan, others reject the idea, citing Trump’s controversial foreign policy, particularly regarding Gaza. Nonetheless, the nomination followed a significant meeting between Trump and Pakistan’s army chief, a rare occurrence for Pakistani military leaders under a civilian government.
The proposal for the Nobel nomination highlights the complex interplay of international diplomacy and national sentiment in Pakistan, revealing both support for and apprehension about Trump’s foreign policy direction.
