"Repeatedly insisting that Israel's military victory was complete, Trump's remarks were intended as a reassurance to Arab states that he will neither allow Israel to reopen the conflict with Hamas nor permit Hamas to re-establish itself inside Gaza. Trump then flew to Egypt to take the message of optimism to a summit of more than 20 world leaders dedicated to endorsing his peace plan, the rebuilding of Gaza and a limited form of Palestinian self-rule."
"The guarantors of the peace agreement the US, Turkey, Qatar and Egypt also signed a comprehensive document setting out their responsibilities in ensuring peace, and an eventual path to Palestinian self-rule. The summit was jointly hosted by Trump and the Egyptian president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. At the opening of the summit, Trump told reporters that phase two of his Gaza plan, concerning the reconstruction of the strip, was already under way."
Donald Trump vowed to use presidential power to ensure Israel recognises it has achieved all it can by force of arms and to begin an age of regional cooperation that could extend to peace with Iran. He stated that Israel, with US help, had won all it could militarily and called to translate battlefield victories into peace and prosperity across the Middle East. Trump promised to prevent Israeli re-entry into Gaza and to block Hamas restoration. He flew to Egypt for a summit where the US, Turkey, Qatar and Egypt signed responsibilities for peace and outlined reconstruction, limited Palestinian self-rule, and donor commitments.
