• Egypt and the United States will co-chair Monday’s summit with more than 20 countries and the UN chief, while Israel and Hamas will not attend, and mediators are expected to sign a guarantee document for the ceasefire.
• President Donald Trump is traveling to Israel and Egypt for the summit and said the war has ended and the ceasefire will hold, framing the meeting as a step to implement his 20‑point plan.
• Hamas figures told AFP the movement will not take part in any transitional administration for Gaza and rejects disarmament, signaling major complications for the plan’s second phase.
• The International Criminal Court said arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Galant remain in effect, and Iranian media reported Tehran will not attend the summit despite being invited.
