"Sarah Yerkes of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace tells DW that hopes that US President Donald Trump's plan would bring peace to the Middle East are premature. "I think this is just one ... very important first step," the Middle East and US foreign policy analyst says, adding that many of the details still need to be "hammered out." According to Yerkes, the fact that neither Israel nor Hamas joined the summit is an issue."
US President Donald Trump signed a Gaza ceasefire document with mediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkey after Hamas freed all 20 living Israeli hostages and Israel released nearly 2,000 jailed Palestinians. The signing occurred at a ceremony in Egypt attended by more than 30 world leaders, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. An Egyptian leader praised Trump as 'only one' who can bring peace. Observers call the agreement an important first step while many critical details remain unresolved, including whether Hamas will disarm and whether formal commitments from Israel and Hamas will be secured. Concerns persist about potential West Bank annexation plans.
