¡°US President Trump and Egyptian President Sisi will jointly preside over the Gaza ¡®Peace Summit¡¯ in the Egyptian coastal city of Sham Sheikh on 13 November,¡± said the U.S. and Egyptian President¡¯s Office in a statement stating that the summit aims to ¡°end the war in the Gaza Strip, promote peace and stability in the Middle East, and open up a new era of regional security and stability.¡± According to reports, leaders of more than 20 countries and international organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union and others attended the summit. Even though the ceasefire agreement in Pakistan is welcomed by all parties, the international community is still concerned that the specific implementation of the agreement and the follow-up process is full of uncertainties.

US expands invitation list

According to a Reuters report on the 12th, so far, leaders of more than 20 countries and international organizations such as the United Nations have indicated that they will participate in the Gaza "Peace Summit", including United Nations Secretary-General Guterres, Britain, France, Italy, Spain and other European countries and leaders of many countries in the Middle East have confirmed their participation. Axios News Network of the United States said that the United States has also expanded its invitation list, and the invited countries also include Azerbaijan, Armenia, El Salvador, Cyprus and other countries. A person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named, said that Iran was also invited.

However, Axios News said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may not attend the meeting. Israeli officials have not yet made a clear response to this. At the same time, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has publicly stated that it will not attend the meeting. Badran, a member of the Hamas Political Bureau, said in an interview with Agence France-Presse on the 11th that Hamas "mainly works through Qatari and Egyptian mediators" during the negotiation process, so it will not directly attend the summit. However, he said that Hamas will continue to participate in the negotiations in the subsequent stages of the agreement.

According to the Associated Press, Trump will first arrive in Israel for a visit on the 13th, then go to Egypt to host a "peace summit" and participate in the ceasefire agreement signing ceremony to "declare the end of the Gaza War." Trump attaches great importance to this "peace summit". Trump declared in a high-profile manner at the White House on the 11th that without his intervention and mediation,"the Gaza War could not have ended." He also said that under his leadership, the Middle East faces "unprecedented opportunities for peace in 3000 years."

However, Trump¡¯s statement has not won widespread recognition.Many international media say that the U.S. role in the Gaza conflict is not a mere ¡°peace-builder¡± and that without U.S. arms support and the tolerance of the Trump administration, Israel would not be able to continue the war for so long and that Gaza would not have killed 70,000 people, the vast majority of whom were women and children.

¡°Can Trump¡¯s Gaza peace plan withstand the test of time?¡± experts quoted AFP as saying that the Trump administration¡¯s past record in policy implementation was not optimistic and that people feared he might not continue to focus on the conflict in Pakistan after this ¡°victorious¡± summit. France¡¯s Foreign Minister Barroso said after meeting with many foreign ministers in Europe and the Middle East that ¡°a ceasefire does not mean lasting peace.¡±

Israel¡¯s Hamas disagreement

Agence France-Presse quoted Miller, a researcher at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who has participated in many Middle East peace talks, as saying on the 12th that there are still many "complex issues" that need to be discussed in the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the second phase of negotiations, such as On the issue of disarming Hamas, Israel and Hamas have completely different opinions.

Israel's Ha 'aretz newspaper said that although the Israeli cabinet has approved the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, Netanyahu's stance on key issues remains tough, emphasizing that "Hamas must disarm, whether through peaceful means or Military means." He also explicitly refused the Palestinian National Authority to participate in Gaza governance, which was in clear conflict with Trump's "Peace Plan" that "governance of the Gaza Strip will eventually be transferred to the Palestinian National Authority."

At the same time, Hamas clearly refused to disarm. Badran, a member of the Hamas Politburo, said on the 11th:"The request to propose to hand over weapons is absolutely impossible and there is no room for negotiation." He asked,"Do the Palestinian people have tanks or fighter jets? The weapons owned by Hamas and other resistance groups are personal weapons used for the defense of the Palestinian people." Badran stressed that Hamas will not leave Gaza and that "Hamas leaders live in this land, with their families and people." It's ridiculous to want us to leave here."

Despite the ceasefire, the situation in Gaza remains severe, according to AFP, with more than half a million people returning home after the ceasefire, but facing a ruin destroyed by the war.52-year-old Salmi, after returning to the community, finds that her house has been completely destroyed, she stands in front of the ruins and cries: ¡°Everything is now dust.¡±

In addition to the destruction of their homes, the people of Gaza are also facing a serious humanitarian crisis. The long-term war has led to extreme shortages of food, drinking water and medicine in Gaza. As early as August, the United Nations declared a state of famine in Gaza, and more than 500,000 people are facing "catastrophic situations" such as "hunger, extreme poverty and death." UNICEF said that once Israel allows to expand the scale of material delivery, it will greatly increase the provision of food and hygiene products to malnourished children. The World Food Program also said it was ready to restore 145 food distribution points throughout Gaza.

However, according to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli controls on border ports remain very strict. As of November 11, only about 600 humanitarian aid trucks could enter the Gaza Strip every day, making it difficult to meet local needs. In addition, Israeli infrastructure has been severely damaged by the army, further weakening the distribution of aid supplies. The Israeli Defense Army also warned that parts of the Gaza Strip are ¡°still considered dangerous battle zones¡± and cannot guarantee the safety of rescuers.

Many European cities, such as London, Berlin and Vienna, exploded on Monday in support of large-scale demonstrations in support of Palestine, according to Reuters. Australia¡¯s 27 cities took part in protests on Thursday in support of Palestine, including 30,000 in Sydney. One protesters said: ¡°Israel has always broken every cease-fire agreement they have concluded and has been illegally occupying Palestinian territories for 78 years.¡±
