Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi begins the formal part of the Gaza summit in Sharm el-Sheikh with brief remarks introducing Trump.

Sissi asserts that a two-state solution is the only way to achieve the ambitions of the Palestinians and the Israelis and live in peace.

“Egypt will work with the United States in coordination with partners in the coming days to lay the foundation for the reconstruction of the (Gaza) Strip, and we intend to host an early recovery, reconstruction and development conference,” he says.
