World leaders have thrown their support behind a Middle East “peace deal” brokered by the US and President Donald Trump as they gathered for a summit on post-war Gaza in Egypt.

Trump arrived at the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh directly from Israel, where he had earlier addressed the parliament, and delivered remarks as key leaders signed a document related to the deal.

“This is an incredible day for the world, let alone the Middle East,” Trump said. “This took 3000 years to get to this point, can you believe it? And it’s going to hold up, too. It’s going to hold up.”

The exact terms of the document signed by Trump and other leaders were not immediately published, but it was expected to closely resemble the 20-point Gaza peace plan the US had released earlier.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed the agreement alongside Trump, who said they were instrumental in its creation.

They were watched by a slew of other world leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not attend the summit, despite earlier reports that he would go after a last-minute request from Trump. Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority which exercises partial control of the West Bank, was in attendance.
