Sharm el‑Sheikh Gaza Ceasefire Signed Under Trump’s Lead

Overview

• Leaders from the United States, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey signed the Sharm el‑Sheikh document, crediting U.S. mediation for a ceasefire and initial hostage exchanges.
• The White House published a declaration branding the pact the 'Trump Peace' and outlined a 20‑point plan that includes a Peace Council chaired by the president.
• Diplomats and experts say the agreement lacks detailed enforcement measures and doubt the political will of Israel and Hamas to pursue a durable settlement.
• Key implementation hurdles include assembling a proposed international stabilization force for Gaza, addressing Hamas’s arms, and navigating Israeli domestic opposition voiced by hardliners.
• Trump’s personalized approach dominated the summit’s optics, from on‑stage remarks praising Italy’s Giorgia Meloni to a follow‑up promotion of her memoir on Truth Social.
