Diplomatic Breakthrough in Sharm El-Sheikh
The breakthrough occurred in Sharm El-Sheikh, led by egypt’s General Intelligence Service (GIS) chief Hassan Rashad, alongside US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the Qatari Prime Minister, and officials from the United States, Israel, Qatar, Turkey, and Hamas.
President Trump confirmed Wednesday night that both Israel and Hamas had signed off on the first phase of the Gaza Peace Plan during the Sharm El-Sheikh discussions, thanking Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey for their involvement. Earlier that day, Egyptian President Al-Sisi invited President Trump to attend the signing, stating, “if an agreement is reached between Israel and Hamas, come to Egypt – come to Sharm El-Sheikh – and sign the peace deal here.”
Egypt’s stewardship of the talks was crucial, with all Palestinian factions convening in Sharm El-Sheikh in close proximity to the Israeli delegation. While the united States and President Trump played a role, the resolution of previous impasses was directly attributable to intensive Egyptian diplomatic efforts.
