Erdogan to join in Gaza’s truce summit
(MENAFN) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is set to attend the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit in Egypt on Monday, following invitations from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and US President Donald Trump, according to Türkiye’s communications director Burhanettin Duran.
Duran wrote on social media platform X that Erdogan will deliver a speech at the summit and hold consultations with other participating leaders.
The summit, co-chaired by Sisi and Trump, will host more than 20 world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Jordan’s King Abdullah, Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Egypt described the summit’s purpose as “to end the war in the Gaza Strip, enhance efforts to bring peace and stability to the Middle East, and usher in a new phase of regional security and stability.”
Trump announced Wednesday that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first stage of his 20-point ceasefire plan. This initial phase involves releasing all Israeli captives in exchange for roughly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, which went into effect on Friday.
The second phase of the plan envisions establishing a new governing body in Gaza without Hamas’ participation, deploying a multinational security force, and disarming Hamas. Since October 2023, Israeli operations have reportedly killed more than 67,600 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children, leaving the territory largely uninhabitable.
