**Trump Praises India, Claims Credit for India-Pakistan Ceasefire at Gaza Summit**

**Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt -** U.S. President Donald Trump, fresh off mediating a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, took center stage at a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where he lauded India and its leadership. “India is a great country with a very good friend of mine at the top,” Trump stated, without naming Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He further expressed optimism for future relations between India and Pakistan, saying he believed they would “live very nicely together.”

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, present at the summit, echoed the praise, nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. “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.”

Trump, seemingly emboldened by his success in Gaza, claimed to have resolved eight conflicts, including the long-standing tensions between India and Pakistan. This follows numerous previous claims by Trump that he played a key role in securing a ceasefire between the two nations, dating back to May 2025.

However, India has consistently maintained a different narrative. According to sources within the Indian government, the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was the result of direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries. This occurred after a period of heightened tension, triggered by Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory strike against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack.

While the world celebrates the end of the Gaza conflict, President Trump’s claims regarding the India-Pakistan situation continue to spark debate. The Indian government remains firm in its stance that the progress made between the two nations was achieved through direct bilateral communication.
