A summit addressing the situation in the Gaza Strip took place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas emphasizing its significance as a critical discussion on the Palestinian issue. The event, held on October 13, saw Abbas highlight two key priorities: accelerating the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip through collective Arab and international efforts, and advancing peace through an upcoming international conference.
Abbas stated that major topics were debated at the summit, including ceasefire agreements, food security, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the region. Meanwhile, reports indicated that Hamas hostages had been released after two years, alongside Palestinian prisoners being freed from detention.
The agreement to end the Gaza conflict was signed by representatives of Egypt, the United States, Qatar, and Turkey during the summit. U.S. leader Donald Trump described the deal as “the largest and most difficult,” calling October 13 a “great and wonderful day” and underscoring his administration’s focus on ending global conflicts.
