US EditionMediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkey sign with Trump document on Gaza ceasefire deal
- On Monday, President Donald Trump touched down in Israel to meet hostage families, address the Knesset, and co-chair a Sharm el-Sheikh summit with leaders from more than 20 countries to finalise a Gaza truce.
- Motivated by a U.S.-brokered 20-point peace plan, the trip seeks to lock in a ceasefire and support fragile early-stage efforts to return hostages and rebuild Gaza after the two-year war.
- Humanitarian provisions call for reopening five border crossings and scaling aid into Gaza, where roughly 2 million residents face dire conditions, while roughly 200 US troops support ceasefire monitoring.
- Israeli troops completed withdrawals that triggered a 72-hour countdown, and Israel is expected to release more than 1,900 Palestinian detainees as the Sharm el-Sheikh summit seeks to reinforce the fragile ceasefire.
- More than 2,000 kilometers away in Kyiv, officials hope Trump will leverage options like sanctions and missile supplies, with US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker stating `there are almost, I don't want to say unlimited cards`.
