A summit chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi aimed to support efforts to end the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. This summit follows a breakthrough ceasefire and the initiation of a phased peace plan proposed by the Trump administration.

Israel has confirmed that Hamas has released all living hostages held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian detainees, fulfilling a key condition in the first phase of the peace plan. However, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty indicated that subsequent stages will present greater challenges.

Egypt is advocating for a United Nations Security Council resolution to authorize the deployment of a peacekeeping force in Gaza. There is an emphasis on the necessity for U.S. involvement and clarity regarding the mission's mandate. Despite recent progress, significant uncertainties remain. Israel has rejected any post-war role for Hamas or the Palestinian Authority in Gaza, leaving the future governance of the region unresolved.
