United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is set to travel to Egypt to attend the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit for Peace on Monday, according to a statement from the Office of the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General. He is expected to return to UN Headquarters on Wednesday.
The summit, hosted in Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, aims to finalize an agreement to end the ongoing war in Gaza. The meeting will be co-chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and US President Donald Trump and will gather leaders from more than 20 countries. The focus is on bringing peace and stability to the Middle East and initiating a new phase of regional security.
The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which took effect on Friday, followed three days of intense negotiations mediated by Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye, and the United States.
The first phase of the agreement includes the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza City, Rafah, Khan Younis, and northern Gaza, the opening of five crossings for humanitarian aid, and the release of hostages and prisoners.
A Hamas source confirmed that the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt is expected to reopen in the middle of next week, allowing limited movement of people, though detailed operational plans have not yet been announced.
The Sharm el-Sheikh Summit is seen as a crucial step toward stabilizing the region and ensuring a sustainable peace process in Gaza and the wider Middle East.
