ISTANBUL (AA) – US President Donald Trump departed Israel on Monday, heading to Egypt’s Red Sea city of Sharm el-Sheikh to attend an international peace summit on the Gaza Strip.
The summit is expected to open later on Monday, co-chaired by Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
Trump visited Israel early Monday, shortly after the Palestinian group Hamas released 20 living Israeli hostages under a Gaza ceasefire agreement.
The Sharm el-Sheikh summit brings together leaders of more than 20 countries to solidify the ceasefire and advance post-war reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
