Trump and Sisi to Lead Historic Gaza Peace Summit in Egypt with Over 20 Global Leaders
In a significant move toward restoring peace in the Middle East, U.S. President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi are set to co-chair a landmark Gaza peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh this Monday. The Egyptian presidency announced that the meeting will gather leaders from more than twenty nations, all uniting under a shared vision of ending the conflict in Gaza and building a future of stability and cooperation in the region.
According to the statement, the summit will focus on halting the ongoing violence in the Gaza Strip and laying the foundation for lasting peace and security. Among the confirmed attendees are UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, and French President Emmanuel Macron. Their presence underscores a global urgency for coordinated diplomacy and humanitarian relief.
While there has been no confirmation of attendance from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas has announced it will not take part in the summit. Hossam Badran, a senior member of the Hamas political bureau, told AFP that the group “will not be involved,” noting that past communications with international mediators were conducted primarily through Qatari and Egyptian channels.
This high-stakes meeting represents more than just a diplomatic gathering—it’s a global call for reconciliation, empathy, and peace. As the world’s eyes turn to Sharm el-Sheikh, many hope this summit will mark a turning point, where dialogue replaces destruction, and cooperation triumphs over conflict. Because, ultimately, peace begins when humanity chooses understanding over division.
