“This is a historic turning point. This (agreement) opens the door to a new era of peace in the Middle East,” Sisi said at a peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh aimed at ending the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Implementation of the Gaza peace agreement must lead to the creation of a Palestinian state, Mr. Sisi said, adding that a two-state solution is the only way to realize the aspirations of the Palestinian and Israeli people.
He also declared that a two-state solution is the only way to realize the aspirations of the Palestinian and Israeli people.
President Trump announced on October 8 that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange plan.
The agreement was concluded after four days of indirect talks between the two countries in Sharm el-Sheikh with delegations from Turkey, Egypt and Qatar, supervised by the United States.
The second phase of the agreement envisions a new governance framework for Gaza, a security force comprised of Palestinians and armed forces from Arab and Islamic countries, and a foreign-funded reconstruction led by Arab states.
Since October 2023, Israeli military attacks have killed more than 67,800 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, most of them women and children, leaving the enclave almost uninhabitable.
