The summit focused on the complete endorsement and support for the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement to end the war in Gaza, which was signed on October 9, 2025, mediated by Egypt, the United States, Qatar, and Turkey.
During the summit, the leadership of American President Trump in the efforts to end the war through his settlement plan was praised, along with the pivotal role played by the brothers in Qatar and Turkey in mediation efforts. The participating leaders appreciated Egypt's role, under the patronage of the President, in leading and coordinating humanitarian efforts since the beginning of the crisis, and in mediation until the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement was reached, and they commended the Egyptian efforts to hold the summit.
The summit addressed the importance of cooperation among the international community to provide all means to follow up on the implementation of the agreement's terms and to maintain its continuity, including the complete cessation of the war in Gaza, completion of the hostage and prisoner exchange process, the Israeli withdrawal, and the entry of humanitarian and relief aid into the Gaza Strip. In this context, the summit witnessed the signing ceremony by the leaders of the mediating countries on a document supporting the agreement.
It was also emphasized that it is necessary to begin consultations about the ways and mechanisms to implement the next stages of President Trump's settlement plan, starting from matters related to governance and security provision, the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, and culminating in the political pathway for the settlement.
Egypt expresses gratitude and appreciation to the leaders who participated in the summit, and welcomes in this context the high-level participation which clearly reflected international support for efforts to end the war, and Egypt will continue to cooperate with its regional and international partners to close this painful chapter of the history of the Middle East and the world, in which humanity lost much of its humanity, the existing international system lost much of its credibility, and the peoples in the region lost their sense of security.
Egypt, which planted the seeds of peace in the region about half a century ago, affirms that it will spare no effort to preserve the new horizon that was born in the city of peace, Sharm El-Sheikh, and will continue to address the roots of instability in the Middle East, primarily the lack of a settlement for the Palestinian issue, to achieve comprehensive and just peace.
The Palestinian people have suffered as no other people have in modern history, and this brotherly people have managed to endure and persevere despite the grave challenges, and Egypt will remain supportive of it, promoting its resilience, and legitimate inalienable rights including the right to self-determination, and the right to live in security and peace, like all the world's peoples, in an independent state living side-by-side with Israel, on its territory in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, under its legitimate leadership and based on the June 4, 1967, lines, according to international law and relevant international legitimacy resolutions.
Egypt looks forward to peace and will cooperate with everyone to build a Middle East free of conflicts, a Middle East built on justice and equality in rights, and on relationships based on good neighborliness and peaceful coexistence among all its peoples without exception.
