World leaders are gathering in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, for a summit aimed at supporting the recent ceasefire in Gaza and charting a path toward lasting peace and stability in the region. The summit, co-chaired by the presidents of the United States and Egypt, brings together leaders from Turkiye, Jordan, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, the United Nations, and the European Union, though Israel and Hamas are notably absent. The meeting coincides with a crucial exchange of hostages and prisoners, following the start of the ceasefire, and comes amid ongoing questions about Gaza's future governance, security, and reconstruction. While the summit is not expected to resolve all outstanding issues, it signals a renewed international commitment to ending the conflict and supporting Gaza's recovery, with plans for further reconstruction efforts and international cooperation in the works.
