Trump, in Egypt, signs Gaza peace deal, vows war 'is over'
US President Donald Trump praised his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, upon his arrival to Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh ahead of a Gaza peace summit on Monday, saying he played a “very important role” in the ceasefire agreement reached last week.
US President Donald Trump, along with the leaders of Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, signed a peace deal to end the war in the Gaza Strip during a ceremony in Egypt on Monday.
“We’re going to be signing a document that’s going to spell out a lot of rules and regulations and lots of other things, and it’s very comprehensive,” Trump said before signing the deal.
“It’s going to hold up,” he stressed.
Trump arrived in Sharm el-Sheikh earlier on Monday to co-chair, along with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Gaza peace summit less than a week after Israel and Hamas agreed to proceed with the first phase of a 20-point Gaza peace plan that the US leader spearheaded last month, which includes a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a hostage-prisoner exchange.
