EGYPT Oct 13, 2025 – In a landmark ceremony that marks a turning point for the Middle East, President Donald J. Trump joined leaders from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey yesterday to sign the Gaza Peace Plan, formally ending the war between Israel and Hamas. The signing, held at the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, was attended by two dozen world leaders and hailed by the President as the dawn of lasting stability in the region.
“This took 3,000 years to get to this point. Can you believe it? And it’s gonna hold up too,” President Trump declared during the event, emphasizing the durability of the agreement. The plan, a cornerstone of the administration’s “Peace 2025” initiative, calls for the demobilization of Gaza, the disarmament of Hamas, and enhanced security guarantees for Israel. Under its terms, a group of Palestinian policy experts will govern Gaza, operating under international supervision to ensure transparency and reconstruction efforts.
The ceremony unfolded against a backdrop of optimism, with flags of the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey flanking a prominent “PEACE 2025” display. President Trump, flanked by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, affixed his signature to the document amid applause from dignitaries. Other attendees included Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who praised the release of hostages as a “profound step toward humanity.”
As part of the deal, Hamas has freed all living hostages held since October 7, 2023, while Israel released a corresponding number of Palestinian prisoners. Families reunited in emotional scenes broadcast worldwide, symbolizing the human cost of the conflict now giving way to reconciliation. “We have peace in the Middle East,” President Trump proclaimed after the signing, vowing to redirect resources toward rebuilding Gaza into a prosperous hub. He also set his sights on broader regional diplomacy, signaling intentions to pursue peace with Iran.
The Gaza Peace Plan builds on President Trump’s previous successes, including the Abraham Accords, and represents a rejection of endless negotiations in favor of decisive American leadership. “The experts said it was impossible,” the President noted in remarks, crediting “pure, unapologetic American strength” for rendering outdated approaches obsolete.
Administration officials described the agreement as comprehensive, encompassing immediate ceasefires, humanitarian aid corridors, and economic incentives for long-term stability. Reconstruction funding, pledged by the U.S. and Arab partners, will prioritize infrastructure, housing, and job creation in Gaza.
This historic accord not only secures Israel’s borders but also paves the way for normalized relations across the Arab world, fulfilling President Trump’s vision of a Middle East where nations focus on prosperity rather than perpetual conflict. As the Golden Age of America continues, the world watches a new chapter unfold—one of peace, partnership, and promise.
