Trump to attend Gaza summit with several world leaders in Egypt next week — report

US President Donald Trump plans to attend a summit of world leaders focused on Gaza during a visit to Egypt next week, Axios reports, citing four sources familiar with the matter.

The summit, organized by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, reportedly aims to build international support for Trump’s Gaza peace plan, as talks continue over critical issues such as post-war governance, security and reconstruction.

According to the report, invitations have been extended to leaders or foreign ministers from Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Indonesia.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not expected to attend, a US official tells Axios.

The summit is expected to take place in Sharm el-Sheikh on Tuesday morning, though sources say it could be moved to Monday.

Trump is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Monday morning, deliver a speech at the Knesset and meet with families of hostages. That evening, he is to travel to Egypt to meet with President Sissi and participate in a signing ceremony with the three guarantors of the Gaza deal: Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.

US officials confirm Trump’s planned attendance at the summit to Axios, though the White House declined to comment on the reports.
