According to a preliminary programme released to the Egyptian media, the summit will begin with a meeting between President El-Sisi and President Trump, followed by a plenary session with participating leaders and heads of state.

Following a group photo, El-Sisi and Trump will deliver statements outlining the summit’s goals and the following steps to maintain peace and facilitate humanitarian relief operations in Gaza.

The programme also includes several bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the summit between various leaders and delegations, while other agenda items are still being finalised.

The Sharm El-Sheikh Summit for Peace comes amid intensified diplomatic efforts led by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to implement the first phase of the recently reached ceasefire agreement and ensure the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

Egypt, which has played a central role in mediating between the Palestinian and Israeli sides over the past two years, is also preparing to host the International Conference on Early Recovery and Reconstruction in Gaza, in cooperation with international partners and humanitarian agencies.
