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.
