World Leaders Come Together for the Future of Gaza
The summit will be led by the Egyptian president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and Donald Trump, the president of the United States. According to officials, one significant product of the meeting is expected to be a signed document, which brings the war in the Gaza Strip to an official conclusion. Two weeks ago, President Trump introduced a process to bring the two-year-long conflict occurring in the Mediterranean coastal region to an end.



Last week, during matters discussed in Sharm el-Sheikh, Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of the peace process. An aspect of that phase will include the release of surviving Israeli hostages and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners on Monday morning.

More than twenty other world leaders are expected to be participating, including Emmanuel Macron, France's president, Friedrich Merz, Germany's chancellor, Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and António Guterres, the United Nations Secretary-General, with other Arab nations in attendance in discussions shortly after in the Red Sea resort town.
