On October 13, 2023, an event of international significance took place in the city of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Leaders of Egypt, Qatar, the United States, and Turkey signed an agreement to cease fire in the Gaza Strip. This was reported by the Reuters news agency.
US President Donald Trump spoke at the ceremony, describing the signed document as a comprehensive and important agreement. He emphasized that the agreement contains many rules, regulations, and details.
According to the President, October 13 will be remembered as a day of peace and hope for the Middle East. In his speech, Trump noted that this event is not only the end of the war in Gaza but also the beginning of a new historic era in the entire region.
He called this agreement an important step towards peace. More than 30 state leaders participated in the summit.
Among them were Palestinian National Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not attend the summit.
His office linked this decision to Jewish holidays. Earlier, the Turkish president and several Muslim state leaders had stated that they would boycott the event if Netanyahu participated in the summit.
Additionally, representatives of the HAMAS movement also did not attend the summit. However, on the same day, Israelis taken hostage by HAMAS on October 7 were released.
The agreement was achieved through active mediation by the United States. This document has sparked new hopes after years of conflict and violence in the Middle East.
According to analysts, this peace agreement may be remembered in history as an important step in ensuring stability in Gaza and the entire region.
