On the local date of 13th, the leaders of the United States, Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar, including President Trump, President Sisi, President Erdogan, and Emir Tamim, signed the Gaza ceasefire agreement at the “Peace Summit” held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
The signing ceremony took place during the opening of the “Peace Summit” and was hosted by President Sisi and President Trump. Leaders and representatives from multiple countries and international organizations attended the meeting. It is expected that the document will serve as a mechanism to consolidate the Gaza ceasefire, ensure the continuous flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and initiate a comprehensive reconstruction of Gaza.
The four countries guarantee the Gaza ceasefire.
According to a statement released by the Egyptian presidential palace, the summit emphasized that the international community must cooperate and provide all necessary means to ensure the implementation and continuity of the ceasefire agreement, including promoting a full ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, completing the exchange of detained persons and prisoners, achieving Israeli withdrawal, and ensuring humanitarian aid reaches Gaza.
During the summit, the leaders of Egypt, the United States, Qatar (the country’s head of state), and Turkey signed a document. According to reports from Egyptian media such as the “Pyramid News” and other Middle Eastern news outlets, the four leaders committed to supporting the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement as guarantors.
President Sisi emphasized in his speech at the summit that the “two-state solution” is the only way to achieve peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis. He said that Egypt is willing to host an international conference on the early restoration, reconstruction, and development of the Gaza Strip.
Trump stated that some attending country leaders expressed willingness to join the U.S.-proposed “20-point plan” to set up a “Peace Committee” for post-war monitoring of the Gaza Strip. He said that the attending countries agreed that the necessary condition for Gaza’s reconstruction is the demilitarization of Gaza, and a new police force will also be established to maintain security.
The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) did not send representatives to the summit. Palestinian President Abbas attended and had a brief meeting with Trump.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu canceled his attendance at the last minute, citing the start of a Jewish holiday evening. According to Israel’s 12th channel television, the reason behind this was Netanyahu’s desire not to offend his domestic supporters and right-wing allies by attending alongside leaders such as Abbas and Erdogan.
