US President Donald Trump and the leaders of Qatar, Egypt and Turkey sign a declaration meant to cement the ceasefire in Gaza, as several dozen world leaders join them at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit.
“The document is going to spell out rules and regulations and lots of other things,” Trump says before signing, repeating twice that “it’s going to hold up.”
He says he will give a proper speech shortly, but takes the opportunity to thank the world leaders behind him.
“They wanted to get Gaza straightened out. They wanted to get the whole thing straightened out. It got to a point where it was just crazy,” Trump says.
“They always talked about World War Three start[ing] in the Middle East, and that’s not going to happen [anymore],” he adds.
It is not immediately clear what the document states, but the White House, in a tweet, refers to it as the “Gaza Peace Plan for peace in the Middle East.”
It is signed by Trump along with the leaders of the three other mediating countries — Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.
