Key points

The Gaza peace summit, also known as the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit, was a diplomatic meeting held on 13 October 2025 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, following an agreement to implement the first phase of the Gaza peace plan to end the Gaza war which began in 2023. Representatives from around 30 countries attended the summit, which was co-chaired by presidents Donald Trump of the United States and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, although representatives for Israel and Hamas were absent.

The Gaza war began on 7 October 2023 following a series of coordinated armed attacks carried out by a group of Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas in southern Israel. On 8 October 2025, the Israeli government and Hamas agreed to the first part of a Gaza peace plan proposed by US president Donald Trump which resulted in the cessation of hostilities on 10 October 2025. Plans for an international summit relating to the next steps in the peace process were announced by Trump later that day.^[1]

Trump gave a speech to the Israeli Knesset and guests in the morning before attending the summit, urging Israel to focus on peace and prosperity in the Middle East and calling on Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the various legal charges he faced.^[2][3] Trump also met with hostage families.^[4]

The summit was to discuss the next steps in the implementation of the Gaza peace plan and it was intended that the focus should be on the future governance of the Gaza Strip, security and humanitarian assistance.^[5]

Representatives from around 30 countries and from several international organisations were invited to attend.^[5][6]

Absences

Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian and foreign minister Abbas Araghchi were invited but declined the invitation, with Araghchi later posting on social media that "Neither President Pezeshkian nor I can engage with counterparts who have attacked the Iranian People and continue to threaten and sanction us".^[10][11] The prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, was invited to attend by Sisi at Trump's request,^[12] and though he initially confirmed his attendance, he ended up declining as the summit coincided with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah.¹³ reported that Netanyahu's attendance was diplomatically opposed by Turkish president and other leaders.
