U.S. President Donald Trump arrived Monday in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to preside over an international summit aimed at solidifying the ceasefire in Gaza and turning it into a lasting peace agreement. Upon his arrival, he urged attending leaders to seize this “historic moment,” asserting that the U.S.-brokered truce could mark “a new beginning” for a region devastated by years of conflict.
Among the attendees are leaders from SaudiArabia, Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, and several European nations, although neither Israel nor Hamas will be represented at the event.
The hosts hope the summit will establish mechanisms to ensure the orderly reconstruction of Gaza, the temporary administration of the territory, and an international oversight system to support lasting peace between both sides.
¿Can this meeting change the course of the conflict between Israel and Palestine?
That will depend on whether leaders can reach agreements backed by credible and verifiable commitments. This summit could be the first real step toward a more stable future for Gaza. However, the situation remains fragile, and success will hinge on political will and the faithful execution of any agreements made.
