US President Donald Trump's summit in Egypt, intended to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, became a spectacle focused on his image as a peacemaker rather than substantive negotiations, diplomats say. Trump, alongside leaders from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, signed a document described as more symbolic than concrete, with key issues like disarmament and governance in Gaza still unresolved. The event was marked by elaborate displays, with world leaders kept waiting and a red carpet greeting for Trump, while some, including France's Emmanuel Macron and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, refused to participate in the staged lineup. The summit's theatrics overshadowed diplomatic efforts, leaving questions about the durability of the peace process and Trump's ongoing role.
