U.S. President Donald Trump grabbed the spotlight on October 13, 2025, at a grand summit held in an Egyptian city to celebrate a breakthrough ceasefire ending the two-year-long Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Without naming him directly, Trump showered praise on India and its leader, saying, “India is a great country with a good friend of mine at the top.” Looking at Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif standing behind him, Trump added with a smile, “I think Pakistan and India are going to live very nicely together.” The moment sparked chuckles from Mr. Sharif, creating a hopeful vibe about future peace between the two nuclear neighbors. Before these warm words, Trump applauded Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his “favourite field marshal” — Pakistan army chief Gen Asim Munir — even inviting Sharif to speak at the gathering. Mr. Sharif expressed deep gratitude, crediting President Trump’s “untiring and relentless efforts” for bringing peace to the Middle East. He declared, “Pakistan had nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his outstanding (and) extraordinary contributions to first stop the war between India and Pakistan and then achieve a ceasefire along with his very wonderful team.” Sharif went further, saying he would like to nominate Trump once more “for saving millions of lives not only in South Asia but also in the Middle East.” This comes after Trump’s public claims of resolving eight conflicts worldwide, including India-Pakistan tension and now the Israel-Gaza conflict. Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after lengthy Washington-mediated talks, he has repeatedly touted his role in settling this dispute. However, India has stressed that the ceasefire came from direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of their armies, not political intervention. To recall, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror groups in Pakistan after a deadly attack in Pahalgam killed 26 civilians on April 22. Fierce cross-border drone and missile exchanges took place for four days before India and Pakistan agreed to end hostilities on May 10. This mix of diplomatic fireworks, military moves, and a ceasefire deal brought a fresh spark of hope for peace in one of the world’s most dangerous neighborhoods. And with Trump at the center stage, praising leaders and predicting harmony, the world watches closely to see if these hopeful promises can turn into lasting peace.
