Trump and Egyptian president Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will co-host a summit of more than 20 world leaders in Sharm El Sheikh
Donald Trump and Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will co-host a summit of more than 20 world leaders<\/a> in Sharm El Sheikh on Monday, after the US president first visits Israel to speak at the Knesset and meet families of the hostages.
The summit\u2019s aim is \u201cto end the war in the Gaza Strip, enhance efforts to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East, and usher in a new era of regional security and stability\u201d, according to the Egyptian presidency.
The impressive aims of the meeting are matched by a similarly impressive guest list, many of whom have played a vital role in securing the ceasefire and hostage release deal that is currently in place.
The continuing success of the deal \u2013 and how closely the next stages match up to Trump\u2019s 20-point peace plan \u2013 are all expected to be up for discussions at Monday\u2019s meeting.
Donald Trump<\/strong>
The US president will be seeking to advance his peace, with several crucial elements \u2013 including how Gaza is to be ruled when fighting ends, and the ultimate fate of Hamas \u2013 still unconfirmed. Still, Trump is riding high on his current successes, telling reporters on Sunday<\/a> \u201cthe war is over\u201d.
Abdel Fatah al-Sisi<\/strong>
Egypt has played a leading role in negotiations between Israel<\/a> and Hamas over the course of the two-year conflict. Al-Sisi\u2019s invitation for Trump to take a \u201cvictory lap\u201d of the region will help ensure the ceasefire sticks, a source told Reuters.
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani<\/strong>
Qatar\u2019s Emir was reportedly among the Arab leaders pushing to bind Trump to the peace process, hoping that tying it to the president would help ensure its success.
Mahmoud Abbas<\/strong>
Trump\u2019s peace plan left open the possibility of a role for Abbas\u2019s Palestinian Authority in Gaza<\/a> \u2013 contingent on various reforms \u2013 but Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected such an idea.

Representatives from Hamas<\/strong>
A Hamas political bureau member said the group \u201cwill not be involved\u201d, adding that Hamas \u201cacted principally through \u2026 Qatari and Egyptian mediators\u201d during previous talks on Gaza.
Iranian officials<\/strong>
Iranian state media reported that Egypt had invited Iran to attend the summit, but on Monday the country confirmed that neither its President Masoud Pezeshkian nor foreign minister Abbas Araghchi would take part.
On Monday, Araghchi posted on X: \u201cNeither President Pezeshkian nor I can engage with counterparts who have attacked the Iranian People and continue to threaten and sanction us,\u201d in reference to the United States.
Washington briefly joined Israel in attacks that targeted Iran\u2019s nuclear sites during a 12-day war in June.<\/p>\n
