On Saturday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi's office said the summit would take place on October 13 and would bring together leaders from more than 20 countries. The event will be co-chaired by Sisi and Trump.
On October 9, the US president announced that Israel and the Palestinian movement Hamas had reached an agreement to implement the first phase of a Gaza peace plan. In the first phase, Hamas released Israeli hostages, and Israel started to withdraw its forces to an agreed line in the strip and release hundreds of Palestinians from Israeli prisons, including many serving life sentences on terrorism charges.

Trump says he would ‘love to’ remove sanctions from Iran when they are ready
"I would love to take the sanctions off when they are ready to talk. They cannot really survive with those sanctions. Those sanctions are very tough, but at some point they are going to say, 'We want the sanctions off. We are going to end up with peace.' I think Iran is going to be fine," Trump said during a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi.
