United States envoy Steve Witkoff announced that President Donald Trump will travel to Egypt next week at the invitation of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The visit coincides with celebrations marking a new ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which includes a ceasefire and an exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners. El-Sisi's office confirmed the invitation and the significance of the event, as the first phase of the agreement was signed during talks in Egypt. Israel stated that the ceasefire is expected to take effect within 24 hours following a security cabinet meeting.
