Trump, El-Sisi, Erdogan, and Qatar’s Emir Sign Landmark Gaza Ceasefire Deal in Egypt: “A New and Beautiful Day Has Begun,” Says Trump

In a historic diplomatic breakthrough, US President Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Qatar’s Emir Sheik Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday formally signed the Gaza Ceasefire Agreement, marking the most significant step toward restoring peace in the Middle East after two years of relentless conflict.

The landmark signing took place at an international summit in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt’s famed Red Sea resort, where world leaders gathered under tight security to witness what Trump described as the “beginning of a new chapter for peace.”

Global Leaders Unite for Middle East Peace

The Sharm El-Sheik summit brought together key regional and global power brokers in an event that symbolized the culmination of months of intense back-channel diplomacy.

The ceasefire signing coincided with a major humanitarian milestone — Hamas’s release of all 20 living hostages as part of the first phase of the truce implementation, signaling a crucial step toward de-escalation.

“This deal represents courage, leadership, and faith in peace,” Trump said, moments after placing his signature on the document.

As El-Sisi, Erdoğan, and Sheik Tamim joined him at the signing table, the hall erupted in applause. “It’s going to hold up,” Trump added confidently, underscoring his belief that this ceasefire will endure where others have failed.

Trump’s 20-Point Plan Finally Comes to Fruition.

The ceasefire deal, structured around Trump’s 20-point peace framework unveiled last month, lays out a comprehensive roadmap for cessation of hostilities, humanitarian relief, reconstruction, and gradual normalization of relations between Israel and the Palestinian authorities.

Arab mediators — particularly Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey — played a decisive role in bridging communication gaps between Hamas and Israel, both of which had remained entrenched in hostilities since 2023.

Notably, neither Israel nor Hamas had representatives present at Monday’s ceremony, reflecting the symbolic rather than bilateral nature of the signing event.

However, both sides reportedly conveyed their “written assent” to the terms through diplomatic channels earlier in the day.

Trump Hails Ceasefire as “Historic”

After addressing the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) earlier on Monday, Trump flew directly to Egypt for the signing, where he hailed the agreement as a “triumph of faith over fear and diplomacy over destruction.”

Speaking to the assembled leaders and global media, Trump declared: Nobody thought this could happen.

After years of suffering and bloodshed, the war in Gaza is finally over.

Humanitarian aid is now flowing freely, hundreds of truckloads of food, medicine, and medical equipment are reaching those in need — much of it funded by people sitting in this very room.”

He further emphasized that the focus must now shift to rebuilding Gaza, rehabilitating its devastated infrastructure, and restoring normal life for its war-weary population.

Civilians are returning to their homes, families are being reunited, and a new and beautiful day is rising for the people of Gaza,” Trump said, calling the moment “deeply emotional and profoundly human.”

Arab and Muslim Nations Applauded for Mediation

Trump extended “tremendous gratitude” to the Arab and Muslim nations that helped broker the truce, calling their role “the cornerstone of this success.”

Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey had acted as primary facilitators in the talks, balancing security assurances for Israel with humanitarian and political guarantees for Hamas.

The agreement includes clauses for international monitoring, gradual lifting of blockades, and a phased disarmament process under UN supervision.

President El-Sisi called the moment “a victory for diplomacy and humanity,” while Erdoğan described it as “a model for how courage and persistence can overcome violence.”

Qatar’s Emir Sheik Tamim said the deal was “not just about Gaza — it’s about the dignity of the region and the promise of coexistence.”

A Turning Point for the Region

While the formal peace between Israel and Hamas remains fragile, Monday’s developments mark a significant geopolitical reset in a region scarred by conflict.

With U.S., Turkish, Egyptian, and Qatari endorsement, the Gaza ceasefire deal represents the strongest multilateral commitment to stability since the Abraham Accords.

Diplomatic observers see this as a high-stakes gamble for Trump, who has repeatedly portrayed himself as a “global dealmaker” capable of resolving long-standing conflicts through personal diplomacy.

His renewed focus on the Middle East — following earlier claims of mediating the India-Pakistan ceasefire — is part of his broader narrative of restoring U.S. influence in global peacebuilding.

“The Rebuilding Begins Now”

Ending his speech on an optimistic note, Trump said: This is the dawn of a new Middle East — one built not on fear, but on faith. One built not on weapons, but on words. The rebuilding begins now.”

He added that American engineers and aid agencies would join international partners to rebuild hospitals, schools, and housing infrastructure in Gaza over the coming months.

Diplomats in attendance described the atmosphere as “historic yet cautious,” with many recognizing that maintaining the truce will depend on both sides honoring the commitments signed by their backers.
