A significant peace agreement has been signed by the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey to formalize a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. This pact aims to end the longstanding conflict in the region, though it notably excluded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and representatives from Hamas from the signing. The agreement emphasizes mutual respect and cooperation, marking a shift in the Trump administration's approach by acknowledging equal rights for Palestinians and Israelis. This development is seen as a hopeful step toward rebuilding and fostering enduring peace.
However, despite the absence of detailed content, US President Donald Trump described the agreement as comprehensive. The accord follows a ceasefire and a hostage exchange, where Hamas released 20 hostages. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sissi has described the plan as the 'last chance' for peace. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed concerns about the persistent threat posed by Hamas, advocating for a two-state solution and international oversight. This accord is seen as a pivotal moment and a potential turning point for stability in the Middle East.
