Sharm el‑Sheikh Summit Set for Monday to Formalize Gaza Ceasefire and Hostage Deal

Hamas says it will not join the signing.

Overview

  • Egypt says the meeting will be co‑chaired by Presidents Abdel Fattah al‑Sisi and Donald Trump with leaders from more than 20 countries expected to attend.
  • Organizers describe the plan as linking a Gaza truce and large hostage‑prisoner exchanges to phased Israeli redeployments, humanitarian aid, and reconstruction under international guarantees.
  • India received a late invitation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and reporting says Minister of State Kirti Vardhan Singh will represent India if the prime minister does not attend.
  • A Hamas political bureau member told AFP the group will stay out of the official signing, saying it is working through Qatari and Egyptian mediators.
  • Reporting says Trump is expected to address Israel’s Knesset and meet hostages’ families Monday morning before flying to Egypt, with further hostage releases also reported as expected the same day.
