An international summit on Gaza’s future in Egypt became the stage for a notable moment involving Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni and Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif. Sharif’s effusive praise for Donald Trump, including a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, prompted a viral reaction from Meloni. Sharif credited Trump with ‘outstanding contributions’ that averted conflict between India and Pakistan, stating, ‘Today, I would like to once again nominate this great president for the Nobel Peace Prize.’ Meloni, standing nearby, was caught on camera with a quick, surprised gesture of covering her mouth, followed by a generally unexpressive demeanor as Sharif continued. Trump has actively promoted his role in de-escalating regional tensions. The summit also marked progress in a Gaza peace deal, including hostage and prisoner exchanges. Meloni’s expressive reactions have previously made headlines at global diplomatic events.
