Cairo Summit Pushes for Ceasefire and Governance Transition in Gaza

Macron, al-Sisi, and King Abdullah II advocate for an immediate truce, humanitarian aid access, and Palestinian Authority control over Gaza, excluding Hamas.

At the Cairo summit, leaders from France, Egypt, and Jordan called for an immediate return to a ceasefire in Gaza following the resumption of Israeli military operations in March.
The summit proposed a governance transition plan that places Gaza under the control of the Palestinian Authority, explicitly excluding Hamas from future leadership roles.
Macron and his counterparts emphasized the importance of uninterrupted humanitarian aid to Gaza and condemned forced displacement of Palestinians as a violation of international law.
The leaders warned that annexation or forced population transfers would destabilize regional security, including Israel’s, and violate international norms.
Macron plans to visit Al-Arish, near Gaza, to meet humanitarian workers and reinforce the urgency of aid delivery and conflict resolution efforts.
