Several political leaders and civil society figures in Pakistan have called on their government to reconsider any support for former U.S. President Donald Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. The calls come amid growing domestic criticism over Trump’s foreign policy record, especially concerning the Middle East and South Asia.
Prominent opposition members questioned the justification behind nominating Trump, citing his administration’s actions in Palestine, Kashmir, and Iran. They argue that instead of promoting peace, his policies heightened tensions in already volatile regions.
Activists and political commentators echoed similar sentiments, urging the Pakistani leadership to align its foreign policy with broader humanitarian and regional peace considerations. Some emphasized that endorsing such a nomination could damage Pakistan’s global image and undermine its stance on conflict resolution.
The development has sparked a wider debate within Pakistan on the country’s diplomatic positioning and the importance of maintaining an independent and balanced foreign policy amidst shifting global alliances.
