Gaza ceasefire: Trump signs first phase of deal in Egypt

US President Donald Trump and other world leaders signed the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement during a summit in Egypt after Israeli hostages and Palestinians prisoners and detainees were released.

Trump posed in front of a banner which read “Peace 2025” as he greeted individually the world leaders attending the event, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

The US President, Egypt’s President Sisi, Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkey’s President Erdogan placed their signature on the document that sealed the first phase of the ceasefire deal.

“We’ve achieved what everybody said was impossible – at long last, we have peace in the Middle East,” said Trump during a news conference.
