Some 30 countries and several international organizations will be represented at the Sharm El-Sheikh summit tomorrow, according to a French diplomatic official.

The agenda of the summit will focus on three main areas, says the official: security, governance, and humanitarian issues.

The security element will focus on creating a stabilization force and establishing a US-Qatari-Egyptian-Turkish task force to locate bodies of hostages.

The second topic will center on the creation of a “Palestinian committee to end the state of permanent war and aim for a complete withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from the Gaza Strip,” says the French diplomat.

On the humanitarian front, French President Emmanuel Macron will push for immediate reconstruction in Gaza and increased aid delivery.
