Pakistan Takes U-Turn On Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan; PM Shehbaz Backs Deal After Minister's Criticism

Pakistan has backtracked on its position regarding US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, following an initial critique by Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif welcomed the plan, describing it as a step towards ending the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict. In a post on X, Sharif stated, “Alhamdolillah, we are closer to a ceasefire than we have been since this genocide was launched on the Palestinian people.” He also thanked President Trump and leaders from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, and Indonesia for their efforts in facilitating dialogue. Sharif underlined that the cooperation of multiple nations could help prevent further bloodshed and aid humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza. Alhamdolillah, we are closer to a ceasefire than we have been since this genocide was launched on the Palestinian people. Pakistan has always stood by the Palestinian people and shall always do so.Gratitude is due to President Trump, as well as to leaderships of Qatar, Saudia… — Shehbaz Sharif (@CMShehbaz) October 4, 2025  Sharif also highlighted Hamas’s partial acceptance of Trump’s 20-point plan, which includes the release of all hostages taken during the 7 October 2023 attacks, as an opportunity for a ceasefire and long-term peace. What Ishaq Dar Stated Dar had earlier asserted that President Trump had personally assured Muslim leaders he would prevent any Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank-a key demand of hardliners in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition. Dar's Fresh U-Turn Dar described Hamas’s response as a positive development on Saturday. He emphasised that it should lead to an immediate ceasefire, an end to Palestinian suffering, the release of hostages, and the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid. “Israel must immediately halt its attacks,” he added, reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and for a sovereign, viable Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital." Hamas' response is a welcome step. This must now result in an immediate ceasefire, end to Palestinian suffering, ensure hostages release, and allow free flow of humanitarian aid.

30 Killed In Russian Drone Strike On Railway Station In Ukraine, Says Zelenskyy

At least 30 people were killed on Saturday after a Russian drone strike hit a railway station in Ukraine’s northern Sumy region, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed. Calling the attack “savage,” he said both Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) staff and passengers were present at the site when the train was struck. A video posted by Zelenskyy on X showed a mangled carriage engulfed in flames, its windows shattered and metal twisted. According to Sumy governor Oleh Hryhorov, the drone targeted a station in Shostka, hitting a train travelling from Shostka to Kyiv. Emergency services and medics were immediately dispatched to the scene. “This was a savage Russian drone strike on civilians at Shostka railway station. So far, at least 30 victims are confirmed. Russia knew it was hitting civilians, this is terrorism, and the world must not ignore it,” Zelenskyy said, urging stronger global action against Moscow. “Lip service is not enough. Only real strength can stop them.” EU condemns ‘Russian barbarity’ European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned the assault, describing the images from Shostka as “shocking.” In a statement on X, she wrote: “The EU stands with Ukraine as its people once again suffer at the hands of Russian barbarity. We must continue ramping up the pressure on Russia until it accepts a just and lasting peace.” Russia steps up attacks on infrastructure The strike comes as part of Russia’s intensified campaign targeting Ukraine’s railway and energy infrastructure. For nearly two months, Moscow has launched near-daily strikes on transport networks. Just a day earlier, Russia fired 35 missiles and 60 drones at facilities of state-owned energy company Naftogaz in the Kharkiv and Poltava regions, causing what CEO Sergii Koretskyi described as the war’s most destructive attack on Ukraine’s gas production. More than 8,000 households were left without power following the assault. As the war enters its fourth winter, Ukraine is grappling with prolonged blackouts while also escalating its own counterstrikes. In September alone, Ukrainian forces targeted 19 oil refineries across Russia and occupied territories, contributing to fuel shortages inside Russia. Peace talks stalled The attack also comes against the backdrop of frozen peace negotiations. Russia recently suspended dialogue, accusing European nations of blocking progress. Zelenskyy, frustrated by the deadlock, has pressed the US and European allies to impose tighter sanctions on Moscow while calling for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
